In 1973, limited excavation by Mr D Humphreys (a) and the Chess Valley Arch. Soc. on the line of a sewage trench at SU 96709683 revealed foundation trenches, c 1.0m wide, of a substantial, but as yet unidentified Roman building.
Due to the limited nature of the excavation the presence of walls was not established. Much roofing and hypocaust tile was found, together with pottery dating from Belgic to 4th Century AD.(B10)
