A quantity of Roman pottery was found on the northern corner of St Mary's Road crossroads during excavation of narrow pipe trenches by the Gas Board. Two local treasure-hunters excavated a pit, 1m east-west by 1.5 m north-south, and recovered Romano-British coarse wares, several pieces of decorated Samian, and amphora sherds.
