Excavation of Romano-British Buildings to West of Manor House

1 1983: The ‘research excavation’ continued and revealed a ‘1st century principal building’, a side of which exceeds 15m; its total width is sealed by a pebble pavement above which there are Medieval features (MWA 7962).
2 Part of a large building overlaid by a granary, both in timber, were traced and also a ditch, probably of a later military phase. A quantity of very early Claudian samian was recovered here. Dating evidence suggests ocupation in the period 45-71, but more than one military site may be involved.
