Full Description
A Field walking survey on 5.2 Hectares of land scheduled for mineral extraction recovered a small and widely dispersed sample of Roman brick and tile. Prehistoric activity was represented by a single struck flint flake of possible Bronze age or Neolithic date. (See PRN 17955) <1>.
Although Roman brick and Roof tile are present in the ploughsoil the few samples recovered are too widely dispersed to point to a specific location as the source of these materials. <1>.
