Cropmarks in the SE of the Roman camp, (NO21SW 17) interpreted as an unenclosed settlement with souterrains, were threatened by the proposed installation of a storm-water drain to service the housing development. An area, 4m by 40m, was stripped and four features were revealed. These consisted of a modern stone field drain, a large amorphous feature, probably natural, and two interconnecting pits. The field drain and amorphorus feature were not excavated; the latter yielded modern potteryin the top of its fill. Medieval pottery and fragments of clay pipes were retrieved from one of the excavated pits.
