The site at Dickson's Corner appears to represent a native settlement occupied throughout the first century, possible just pre-conquest, to the early third century AD. These was at least one wooden building, Area E, which was probably a small dwelling, with the remains found of other floors and hearths indication other buildings forming the unenclosed settlement. The exposed and isolated location of the site may suggest that it was occupied seasonally and a number of almost sterile layers were found of likely wind-blown sand. A small quantity of fish bones and lead object, probably weights, and marine shells suggest that fishing and the collection of shell-fish was undertaken for eating, at least occasionally. Re-fired pottery from near Area E maybe associated with small-scale salt production, so small that it would have only served the needs of the settlement. Other finds of quernstone fragments and animal bones show that grain was processed on the site, although it is unlikely that crops could have been grown in the dunes, and animal husbandry was practiced. The site, although small, is of interest as it lies in an area thought by historians and archaeologists to have been under the sea in Roman times. A total of 181 struck flints of probable Neolithic-Bronze Age date was found at the site
