Full Description

SK 7585 5016 Med bank. (1)
A section cut through the bank, c 20ft N of the lane to Thorpe, has proved it not Ro (Med or modern ?). It consists of 4ft of homogeneous topsoil in which there are no tip marks or lines and nothing to indicate the date of construction or method. The rig and furrow in the field runs on the E side of the bank at right angles to it, and on the W side parallel to it, and the feature may be no more than a particularly prominent headland. (2)
See M3012 for Roman town, L8383, 9858-61 for associated cropmarks and L8384 for find.
