Notes about this historic site

1 Pits and ditches containing a small pottery assemblage were recorded during evaluative archaeological fieldwork. These features indicate the remains of a small settlement, probably a small farmstead in proximity to the Fosse Way. A higher frequency of charcoal and features on the west side of the site may suggest that the focus of settlement may have been nearer the Fosse Way. However, an unconfirmed report of Roman coins being recovered during pond construction to the south of Vicarage Farm (reported by the owner to the archaeologists on site) suggests that activity may have extended along the roadside to the south.
