The excavations on the site of the Ro villa located early Ro gullies underlying the structure containing pottery, of IA culture. Substantial fragments of 2 situlate jars, both with slack angular shouders and one with finger tip decoration along the rim, were found. Perhaps C4-C3 BC, presumably residual in the early Ro gullies. The gullies themselves probably delimiting fields or paddocks, and are dated by Ro pottery to around 100 AD. (2)
