Type and Period
Description
1986. Trial trenching.
Two small trenches were dug to establish whether Roman occupation extended this far west. A deep deposit of black loam, probably derived from post Roman ploughing, still seals earlier deposits. Traces of occupation included part of a medieval timber structure which has produced a silver half-penny of Richard II. <1>
