Trenches are being dug in the mound (L1211) … In the first of two test holes, at a depth of 2ft 9in, part of a full grown skeleton, with its lower legs bent under, and its knees against the lower footings of a rubble wall, was found. In the complex of rubble to the south of this wall are portions of another skeleton, while from below the first set of bones came Ro pottery of C3-C4 AD date. In the second test hole, some 30ft to the S of the other, and in line with the wall therein, portions of human skeletal remains appear in the top 6in of soil. Ro pottery of (? C3) date - black incised, wheel-turned - has come up. (1)
