A REPORT OF ROMANO BRITISH SETTLEMENT SITE SEEN ON AN AERIAL PHOTO AND REPORTED BY LAND OWNER AT A MUSEUM ROADSHOW. {1}
A pottery scatter including twenty-eight sherds of mostly 1st to 2nd century AD grog-tempered jars as well as some later material was found at this site during fieldwork prior to the construction of the British Gas pipeline. Information from metal detectorists also indicates that Roman finds are being recovered from this site.
The watching brief carried out during the pipeline construction also revealed a linear ditch, 1.5m in depth and approximately 2m in width. No finds were recovered but its location at the south of the pottery scatter, which does not extend beyond it, suggests that it may be linked with the settlement site.{2}
