A large east-west foundation (Feature 2) survived intact on the western side of Trench 1, although it had been robbed further east. The top of Feature 2 lay 0.55m below the modern ground level. The foundation was constructed of septaria and Roman brick/tile fragments set in hard, gravely, pale brown mortar. The southern face was well-defined, although due to the robbing the northern edge was not located. The mortared foundation was thus at least 1.1m wide and survived 0.5m deep. <1>

Although difficult to date directly, the substantial nature of Feature 2, together with the absence of peg-tile, suggests it was probably of Roman date. Its alignment, however, appeared to differ from that of the building found nearby in 1971.<2>
