Full Description
LARGE DITCHED ENCLOSURE OF UNKNOWN DATE. {1}{2}
At TF118999, near Wold Farm, a large collection of Romano-British grey ware and Samian was recovered {3}
Systematic fieldwalking was undertaken on land at TF116999 by Durham University (15 and 16 November 2003). The fieldwalking revealed a low to moderate spread of Romano-British pottery sherds, comprising mainly grey wares, though one sherd of burnt Samian was also retrieved. Fragments of Romano-British quern milling stones were recovered; these being fashioned from distinctive Spilsby Sandstone. Oyster shells were also recovered, plus a small number of post medieval and modern pottery sherds and iron nails. In the round the evidence suggests that a farmstead of Roman date perhaps existed in this location. {4}
