Full Description
August 2011 and March 2012. Watching Brief.
Two ditches (aligned north-east to south-west) and a pit were recorded during monitoring of groundworks for an extension and new garage. The features have been dated to the Roman period and contained four small, heavily abraded fragments of Roman pottery, a fragment of tegula, and an iron nail.
This site is located to the south of the Caister on Sea Late Roman 'Saxon Shore' fort (NHER 8675), but the small number of features encountered here suggests that activity in this area was much more sparse than that to the east of the fort.
