Field survey by A and D Graham and members of SyAS around the site of a bath house of 4th century date excavated by S Frere in 1949. The concentrations of Roman material recovered originate from the bath house, and there were no other indications of further buildings being present, thus confirming earlier conclusions that any villa is likely to have been washed away by the action of the nearby river. Apart from material of the Roman period, there were two concentrations of probable Mesolithic burnt and worked flint, a badly damaged barbed-and-tanged arrowhead, a few sherds of prehistoric pottery, one sherd of medieval pottery, and various post-medieval and modern finds.
