Excavation in 2000-2002 revealed a group of features that probably belonged to the same complex which is likely to have originated in the 1st century and continued in use into the mid-Roman period. These included a several small shallow pits which lay in the vicinity of and were likely associated with an Early Roman timber structure, including one which contained a notable concentration of finds and a neonate burial. These are largely concentrated to the north east of the building and all but two have an early Roman date. A gully To the north east perhaps forms a boundary to the area associated with the structure. (1)
