Description

this TP produced single exemplar of Romano-British, early medieval and medieval pottery, although the small quantity recovered suggests agricultural activity rather than occupation. As for TP 22 (0972500000), this TP is located within 300m of a known Roman settlement site and may fall within its orbit. The medieval pottery is probably part of a larger manure scatter associated with the open fields. The presence of a St Neots type 2 sherd, however, cannot be explained. It is the only example to result from excavation that is not located within Church End (B1).
