Description
A recently recut drainage ditch on the Fobbing Marsh revealed a possible Red Hill site. Roman imported and local ceramics were found, as well as briquetage. The limited access to clear stratigraphy in the ditch sides seemed to indicate the presence of much red earth and charcoal-rich zones, as well as pits and possible ditches.
