Full Description
A dense scatter of Roman pottery of the second to fourth century including building material and other artefacts, found during field walking in Wragby parish. The finds include hypocaust tile, painted wall plaster and tesserae and the scatter of building debris suggested that there was a large complex of three buildings with smaller buildings located nearby. The pottery consisted of local grey wares and high quality fine ware and fragmented glass vessel fragments. There was a small collection of late Iron Age and early Roman pottery within the artefact scatter. This site may have a relationship with the Roman sites to the east (PRN48724) and to the south (PRN48727). {1}
