Notes about this historic site

1 1987. Small scale excavations in advance of road and housing construction failed to locate traces of the Roman Ryknild Street, which should have passed through this field. The field was covered with Medieval ridge and furrow and it seemed likely that the road had been ploughed out. Possible roadside ditches were noted.
