[TQ 74 79 - sited to locality only] On 22nd October 1981 Percy Payne discovered a Roman cremation burial, some way down the foreshore. Finds recovered were a flagon of orange fabric, probably a native copy of an imported vessel (AD 46-65); a wide shallow bowl of smooth sandy ware in orange buff (AD 80-120); Samian cups (two) - form 27 with potter's stamps (AD 43-70), and form 33 with a cursive C internally on the base (second century date). (1). The area was visited during the 2005 coastal survey, but the foreshore was inacessible due to deep soft mud, so it was not possible to check for further remains (2)
