Full description
'Here, another very late sequence was observed, with a series of pits, silts, and roadside ditch re-cuts, all later than AD 390' <5>. An apparently 5th-century road linked this occupation with other equally late features to the NW; see <5>.
Most of the features on the site of the school's eastern extension were late Roman pits and ditches, including at least five pits and a well which were apparently 4th-5th century, and four pairs of post-holes representing a post-built structure <2>.
