TR 04774648 Part of a Romano-British building was excavated in 1972 (2) following the discovery of tiles and pottery reported in 1971 (1). It had later additions at each end, particularly the north and the side nearer the river. Flint foundations of other walls were also found at varying distances between 20m and 80m to the north and north-west. (2) ROMAN BUILDING [R] (site of) [NAT]. Site only - no visible remains.

[TR 04774648]. Tiles and pottery were reported from an area 24 metres west of the River Stour centred on N.G.R. TR 04774648 and covering a strip 55 metres long, 12 metres wide and running parallel with the river. Bulldozing prevented the identification of any foundations, but the fragments of roofing and flue tiles indicate the presence of abuilding in the vicinity. There was a quantity of Romano-British coarse pottery as well as some Samian ware dating, perhaps, to the middle of the C2nd AD. Romano-British occupation material was visible in the side of a ditch at N.G.R. TR 04674662. (4)

Visible on aerial photos of 2003.
