Description
September 2013. Watching brief.
A small collection of residual Roman brick and tile were recovered from the topsoil and subsoil during the watching brief, and abraded tile was recovered from a sand deposit at the base of the trench. It is possible that this area was once within the intertidal zone and the finds were deposited upon a former shoreline. Alternatively, the material may have accumulated as part of a storm beach deposit during episodes of severe weather. <1>
