Roman pit at land south of Quicksie Hill, Wendens Road, Arkesden (EHER 81385)

Activity at/near the site during the Romano-British period is evidenced by the very small assemblage of five sherds of Roman pottery.

2019. Excavation. Activity at/near the site during the Romano-British period is evidenced by the very small assemblage of five sherds of Roman pottery, including one piece of Samian, and fragments of Roman ceramic building material (box flue/roof tiles). One pit which contained solely a single sherd of Romano-British pottery is tentatively assigned to the Roman period. This pit differed in shaped and the character of its fill to both the stratigraphically earlier and later features. The possible Roman pit may represent an outlying feature to Roman activity the focus of which lay towards the course of Wicken Water, in the area of the present day Arkesden village. <1> See also: <2>
