Full Description
Trollope records Romano-British finds about 150 yards north of the road leading from Ermine Street to Easton. He claims that there was a camp of considerable size here. {3}
There has certainly been no camp here although it is a likely spot for a building. The site was visited by C. W. Phillips on 9 August 1929. {2}
Aerial photographs show a rectangular earthwork (about 120m by 90m) with a clearly defined north side and a rounded north-east corner at SK 9369 2628, with traces of internal soil disturbances. There is a suggestion that it may be a mansio or something similar. {1}{2}{3}{4}{5}
There are surface remains of numerous buildings of Roman date on either side of Ermine Street at this point. Occupation evidence ranges from the mid to late 1st century through to the early 5th century. A very large number of Romano-British finds has been reported by J. Dable. {7}
