Occupation on the site appears to have ceased by the mid 1st century AD. Between this date and the early 11th century the only activity was the deposition of what may have originally been a near complete Roman grey ware jar in a small pit. Often such a deposit would be associated with a cremation grave, but no cremated remains were present within its fill. The pottery jar is broadly dated to the 2nd-4th century AD. It is possible that the pits belong to a single, Saxon, phase of activity and that the pottery is residual. <1> - <4>
