Description
Recording of works for new housing estate in 1976 uncovered a number of undated features (most finds were unstratified) including ditches, pits, and a lump of mortared Septaria rubble in soft brownish mortar. One ditch may have been part of an enclosure - it produced no finds but the fill did not contain the abundant finds of adjacent modern features. Some ditches contained Roman finds (see EHER 7416). <1>
