Abstract/Summary
In 1971, within the area of a known Roman burial ground, 21 inhumations and 3 cremations were excavated, all probably dating from the 2nd to 4th centuries AD. Seven ditches, all probably medieval boundaries were found, one containing a group of probably 14th century pottery. Many of the small features found cut into the natural chalk were probably recent.
