Type and Period
Description
2020. Field survey.
A field survey undertaken in 2020 revealed the presence of out-cropped flint nodules in a band to the south and sherds of Romano-British pottery. The conclusion that this 'site' directly relates to the sub-rectilinear cropmarks is inescapable and on this limited evidence it is suggested such cropmarks represent evidence for a Romano-British farmstead and associated paddocks/field system. <1>
