Roman Pottery Scatter from Grunt Hill

Description of this historic site

Findspot - a scatter of Roman pottery was found in the area of Grunt Hill. It may indicate that this was settlement during the Roman period.

Notes about this historic site

1 Fieldwalking the route of the Alcester by-pass produced thin scatters of Romano-British material. This scatter recovered from Grunt Hill may be indicative of domestic activity.
2 The concentration of sherds increased on Grunt Hill about 400m north of the Evesham Street roundabout. The pottery may form part of a manure scatter, but alternatively there may have been Roman habitation – presumably a farmstead – nearby.
