Description
Examination of the upper levels show at least two phases of timber buildings and possible roadways within the Roman town for which a late 2nd-century AD date is provisionally assigned. Later occupation in the area is represented by a number of pits. On the western edge of the site a ditch, re-cut in the 12th century was sectioned.
