Description
1995. Watching brief.
An AAG watching brief was undertaken in 1995 during soil stripping, an uneven scatter of unprovenanced finds were found. Brickearth has already been extracted from most of the fields within this area under an interim development order for an old planning permission. The current application lies at the south end between Star Lane and Poynters Lane. A watching brief was undertaken between 20/10/95 and 24/10/95. Finds were found to the west of a modern drainage ditch and these included a fragment of Roman pottery and tile. For other finds see EHER 16426 and EHER 16428.
