Full Description
Numerous RB features were present on the gravel terrace, including seven ditches, two gullies, a possible stone corn drier or oven, three pits including an example that was clay lined and a row of apparent stone post pads for at least one structure. Pottery sherds were abundant and largely comprised material of C2 - C4 date. Further finds included quernstone and slag tentatively suggesting some limited cereal processing (supported by samples from 0034) and metalworking. Of interest was a glass armlet, possibly from SW Scotland. Together these remains suggest the existence of a multiphased Romano-British ditched enclosure complex, containing signs of domestic activity in an agricultural setting, with an abundant and varied range of artefacts. Geophysical survey indicates the site extends for at least 100m N-S, along the ridge of the gravel terrace, although it's extent westwards was unclear, while to the E it was bounded by the palaeochannel. … Each site situated on the edge of the gravel terrace possessed waterlogged deposits containing dumped Romano-British material running into the palaeochannel / floodplain.
