Full Description

The features exposed on the gravel terrace comprised solely ditches or gullies. These coincided with linear anomalies detected by geophysical survey as forming a large rectangular ditched enclosure complex extending c.110m N -S, with elements stretching at least 100m W. The excavated ditches all followed an E-W alignment. In contrast, the unexcavated feature 0106 correlated with a N-S trending linear anomaly. This difference may indicate a realignment or extension of the enclosure after C2. Pottery of various wares were found including imported items such as the stamped sherd of Samian, while fragments of vessel glass and residual tile perhaps point to the influence of Roman Littleborough and it's markets only 350m to the S. … Each site situated on the edge of the gravel terrace possessed waterlogged deposits containing dumped Romano-British material running into the palaeochannel / floodplain.
