Abstract/Summary
Programme of work on disused quarry site. A large ditch was located containing Iron Age pottery on its lower fill and a dump of Roman pottery in the upper. (AD 60-100) It is likely that it formed part of a larger enclosure, probably sub-rectangular in plan. A hollow and stone footings of a possible wall provided no dating evidence.
The corner of a small building was located here, with a small ditch located at TQ 7830 5163. The fill contained a fragment of PM brick and the building, fragments of yellow stock-brick. Both are probably of C19 date and may relate to farming activity. (kcc1996/81)
