Five Roman features were identified within the evaluation trenches along with a large quantity of residual Roman material, which suggests some form of domestic/occupation activity in the area, centring on the 2nd-3rd centuries. Other finds of 1st century pottery and a 4th century coin hint that this period may have been longer. 26 pieces of painted wall plaster and two post-holes are particularly significant and may suggest timber-framed buildings with some pretensions of grandeur.

It is interesting to note the close proximity of the Roman circus to this site. The features and finds may be associated with the Circus. However, the features and finds may be evidence of occupation which was unrelated, in which case this would be the closest known suburban occupation to the Circus and within an area which is otherwise surrounded by cemeteries.<1>
