Full Description

Small glass bead, turquiose blue colour and oxidised on the surface, probably RB. 31 sherds, largely coarsewares, with two sherds of colour coated fine wares and one of samian. Suggested date range early Ro, C1 - C2. The distribution of the Ro pottery shows no obvious concentrations and is likely to be the result of manuring and agricultural activity. (1)
