Full Description
In this general area various finds of Roman date have been made. These include greyware, colour coated ware and calcite gritted pottery. Finds also include tile and stone and a quern stone fragment. {1}{2}{3}{4}{5}{6}{7}
The corner of a field adjacent to a green lane produced a large amount of Romano-British pottery. The pottery was mostly grey ware though a small percentage of colour-coated ware was also found. This site is on a north-facing slope overlooking the Trent Valley. Approximately 60m to the south, on the brow of the hill, a spread of stone, some dressed, proved to be the centre of another pottery spread. The pottery here was of a similar type and quantity as the original spread. Parts of two querns lay on the surface here, one sandstone, the other millstone grit.
A subsequent visit to the area revealed a third pottery spread approximately 60m east of site 2. This area also produced further fragments of millstone grit. Between areas 1 and 2, a Roman tile and half a bronze bracelet was discovered on the surface. The site does not appear in the Kings School Archaeological Society survey of the parish.
At SK 892 374 Romano-British flagon and mortar, colour-coated ware, clacite-gritted ware and dark grey sandy ware. {8}
