Notes about this historic site

1 1965: Excavation in advance of bypass construction. One ditch proved to be V-shaped and the few scraps of pottery found were Roman. Further ditches also produced Roman pottery. The linear features possibly represented part of a field system. Three pits were also found – at least one was possibly a Roman well.
