Full Description
PRN 36523
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken during residential development at Elsthorpe Road, Stainfield (Haconby). The watching brief identified a large pit, some 6m long by 3m wide and 0.45m deep. A single fill of brownish grey clay silt was recorded from which pottery of 2nd to early 4th century date was retrieved. The pottery was relatively unworn and may indicate settlement in the immediate vicinity. The known extent of the Roman settlement at Stainfield lies some 350m to the west (PRN 33123) and this pit may indicate that the settlement is more extensive than previously thought. Alternatively, the main settlement may be fringed with supplementary occupation sites, and this pit may relate to such a satellite habitation area {1} {2}
