Large quantities of 3rd and 4th century Roman coarse pottery (no Samian), roof and flue tiles, clinker and ash, a leaden figure, an inscribed quern stone which may read 'MINO', whetstones, coins of Constantine and a few minimi have been found. At TA06990148 in the farm yard, a mass of Roman mortar was seen in December 1929. In 1963 there was no trace of the mortar, nor was there visible evidence of a building. The site was in a field, previously ploughed but fallow in 1963. The farmer had numerous coarse pot-sherds, all found in recent years. Scunthorpe Museum retains a representative selection of the material. {1} Site of a Roman building.
