Description
Scatter of Romano-British pottery sherds and single piece of tegula found whilst out walking (B1).
Further large quantity of Roman finds from systematic fieldwalking suggests the presence of a small Roman-period settlement, probably a farmstead of second- third century AD date, lying a short distance from the course of Akeman Street. See report for detail (B2).
A concentration of linear features of various size and shape and extends beyond the limits of the survey. It is likely that these features form part of wider activity associated with the pottery found to the south-east (B3).
