Notes about this historic site
1 An archaeological evaluation in 1995 involving trial trenching and geophysical survey identified features of Iron Age and Romano British date. The site lies well away from the Roman town and cemeteries so it seems most likely this evaluation uncovered a discrete rural Roman settlement. The geophysical survey failed to establish the extent of the Roman British activity due to medieval plough and other modern disturbance.
2 Excavation in 1999 revealed further evidence of Romano-British settlement.
3 Dating revised to Iron Age – Romano British.
