Notes about this historic site
1 To the E of the quarry two large ditches and several pits were observed in 1975-6. Only a very partial plan of the area was recovered ahead of quarrying, and consequently interpretations are not possible. The finds collected were very sparse, and of mixed date. It was felt by the excavator that the majority of features were Roman, although Neolithic (PRN 6056) and Iron Age (PRN 5508) may be indicated.
