Within general area, linear spread of distinctively charcoally soil containing large amount of pottery. One or two areas of soil a darker colour than surrounding area. South part field where pottery concentrates generally darker in colour than silts. Small amount bone present, one or two shells. Possibly few fragments Roman glass.
