A concentration of Roman material was found on the brow of the south-east facing slope on the Grimsthorpe Estate in December 1995. The finds included domestic pottery (Grey ware and Colour-Coated ware), roof and floor tile and slag, including pieces of tap slag. A spread of limestone pieces was also identified. The artefacts may indicate an area of Roman settlement activity or farmstead. The Estate had reported finding similar material in the spring of 1995. {1}
