Full Description
Ditches and gullies associated with Late Iron Age and Early Roman pottery were exacavated in trial trenches in 2020. The pottery was predominantly dated to the late 1st, and early 2nd centuries AD, with a smaller presence of transitional Late Iron Age to Early Roman, and 3rd century material. Additionally briquetage was considered evidence for saltmaking in the area, however the small quantity was not considered diagnostic of saltmaking on the site itself.
