(S2) records this as the site of a Roman settlement dating from the 2nd to 3rd centuries AD, one of a number of similar sites identified along the course of the Fen Causeway Roman road (NHER 2796). Briquetage has also been recovered from the site, suggesting that salt-production was taking place here during the Roman period.
