Description
Original HER entry merged with NRHE data import:
Possible Romano-British sherds. <1>
Right opposite the end of the Roman road, just before it commences to curve, is a field of about two acres. In the middle of the field, in a small depression, Miller Christy found a small rim fragment of pottery which Dr Laver identified as probably Roman. <2> <3>
February 1950. Field survey.
I walked this field but I did not find any sherds. The depression seems to have been ploughed out. <4> <5>
