Summary

Excavation in 2000-2002 found a series of shallow pits associated with the fragmentary remains of a building with an early Roman date though there is also some evidence to suggest that activity may have continued into the mid-Roman period. One of the pits contained a neonate burial and three contained small quantities of mid Roman pottery. (Location accurate to the nearest 1m based on available information)
