Roman occupation was revealed in Test Pit 1 and Roman occupation levels and the surface of a Roman road in Test Pit 2.

Layer (108) in Test Pit 1 "is not a fill or deposit as the layers above it but a buried soil horizon dated by 13 sherds found in secure contexts to c.200-259AD."

In Test Pit 2, a "strata of dark grey organic soil (209) extended across the test pit. Over 33 sherds (243gms) of Roman pottery dating from c.200-250AD were recovered. Overall 25-30 small or large Roman flagons were recovered from this context (209) and (210). Context (209) dated by Roman pottery to about c.200-250AD is 55cm below the turf ground level in Test Pit 2. The layer below (209) is a mix of cess, and mid grey silty clay mixed with natural iron nodules. The layer is about 11cm thick and 22 sherds of Roman pottery were recovered (210) dating to c.200-250AD.

Below (210) a sondage was cut in the west corner through a hard gravel base with frequent nodules of ironstone making the strata fuse together into a hard surface. No pottery or CBM were recovered. It is thought by the excavator that this was the surface of a Roman road." (1)
