In 1936-9 A Oswald re-excavated the site, and confirmed Rooke's discovery (M4001). Below the corridor house was found a C1/C2 Roman occupation site, including huts and a smelting furnace, surrounded by a 5ft deep ditch enclosing about 4 acres. Finds of pottery (including samian at all levels), coins and brooches, suggest the following chronology: AD 80 - Roman wooden huts built. AD 180 - all wooden buildings destroyed by fire and ashes thrown in ditch. (1) (2)
