Finds assemblages of this mid-Roman period were retrieved only from two large pits lying to the north of an east-to-west aligned, slightly curvilinear feature interpreted as part of feature group of ditches (MNT28957) dated to the later Roman phase, and from the western terminal of the ditch fragment itself.

The more westerly of the two mid-Roman pits was the larger, and lay directly to the north of the ditch terminal. The sub-oval pit measured 2.48m x 1.93m in plan and was 0.66m deep, containing five fills. The lowest of these was a thin deposit of clay, probably redeposited natural washed in from the sides or spoilheap soon after the feature was cut, with a thin charcoal rich layer above. The deeper third fill,which contained large cobbles and boulders, produced a mixed assemblage of pottery: seven sherds of AD150+ date, including a mortarium sherd, a rim sherd of black burnished ware type and the only piece of name-stamped samian ware to be found in this works phase, with fragments of cattle bone. 18 mid- to late 2nd-century sherds were retrieved from the fourth fill; this and the undated final fill had been partially cut away on the eastern side by a shallower pit. This pit was only 0.25m deep, but produced 29 sherds of late 2nd-century+ pottery, also including samian ware and ware of black-burnished type, at least some of which may have been redeposited from the earlier pit. Approximately 3m to the east, an irregularly-shaped pit measured 3.12m x 2.22m and was 0.44m deep with a flat base. Two fills could be identified, although all horizons were very diffuse, the lower fill appeared to be redeposited natural, possibly suggesting that the pit had been used for puddling clay or mixing daub, while an upper fill produced 15 sherds of mid- to late 2nd-century or later pottery, including the base of a Black Burnished Ware bowl or dish thought likely to have been produced in Dorset. The pit intersected and possibly cut the edge of the much smaller, undated feature.
