Full Description
9 December 1987. Fenland fieldwalking, good conditions, weathered soil, young cereal.
Spread of Roman pottery, sparse, and sparse bone fragments with only slight soil discolouration. Runs as far as modern dyke on north and may indeed have been cut by it. However, majority of site probably part covered by bulldozed silt, a result of attempts to level this and other fields on the farm twenty years or so ago. 60m east to west x 25m north to south approximately at 1.1m OD. NDH 5.
R. Silvester (NCM) 9 December 1987.
