Monument record 1573300000 - Rosehill Farm

Iron Age potsherds, burnt flints, charcoal and animal bones found in a trench dug in Mr G W Almond's brickworks near Pile Farm suggest a Belgic habitation site (B1).

According to Mr King, a former employee of Messrs Almond, and now living in the cottage attached to the brickworks, the finds described by Lacaille came from the brickfield about 70 yds north of the end of the store-sheds and in line with the lower of two semi-detached cottages on the lane to the west (SU 92418398). A further discovery was made at SU 92338391, consisting of a layer of shells at a depth of about 8' with pottery sherds similar to those of the main site flints, bones etc.
The brickworks is now disused and the site is a grass covered depression. (2)
First century Ro pottery found, Oct 1938. (3)
