Notes about this historic site

1 The corners of two successive enclosures were recorded during excavation at the former Peugeot Citroen Ryton Plant. The latter probably went out of use in the Romano-British period. An undated pit and post hole were recorded outside the enclosures.
2 Two parallel ditches were recorded, possibly a droveway, during excavation at the site of the former Peugeot Works, appearing to lead to these enclosures. A small pottery assemblage was recorded from this site, of 3rd to 4th century date. It appears to correlate with the features previously excavated.
