Full Description
Roman features were identified buried at approximately 1m below post Roman silts. There were several features identified, some of which were definitely cut features. A possible ditch or creek was recorded which contained one early second century shelly ware sherd. A cut feature was also recorded which contained pottery of several different fabric types of the first to the second century, and some were in the late Iron Age tradition. Environmental evidence suggests the feature contained open water, the levels of which fluctuated, which suggests that it was a pond. {1}{2}
