Full Description
9 January 1974. Garden of 'Alisian'.
Grimston ware including wasters.
This site was wrongly included under NHER 3588 as it was erroneously stated on (S1) that Greatford and Alisian were adjacent properties. (S2) reveals they are some distance apart.
But KLM sherds come from both sites, not distinguished.
E. Rose (NAU) 11 August 1986.
