Description
An excavation was carried out prior to the construction of a grain store next to existing farm buildings, after an evaluation determined there was significant archaeological remains. A moderate density of remains were found which demonstrate three phases of land-use spanning the early and mid Roman period. Recovered artefacts suggest the presence of a low-status settlement, probably a farmstead, in the near vicinity.
