In area 14 there were: Twenty eight ditches were recorded in this area although the majority did not appear to form any coherent pattern; two ditches bound the cremation and inhuman cemetries. The ditches are broadly contemporary and dated to the Romano-British period. Twenty three pits and two postholes were recorded in the area and two contained rare prehistoric pottery. The rest are undated and formed no pattern within the area. A sunken featured building, aligned east-west, is believed to be Romano-British in date. Two Romano-British cemetries were also recorded within the area: an inhumation cemetry that consisted of ten graves and an inhumation cemetry which consisted of eight graves.The inhumation graves were all located within an area of approx. 15m sq, four graves were orientated north-east/south-west, four were orientated north-north-east/south-south-west. The human bone was generally in poor condition. A number of grave goods were associated with the inhumations; these included a whole pottery vessel and a copper alloy buckle. Eight cremation graves were located within an area of 12m sq. All the burials were contained within amphorae. The cremation remains were buried in single vessels, mostly large amphorae. Some of these urns contained ancillary pots (1).
