More information : Pits and ditches revealed by roadworks, and since
destroyed, were excavated early in 1969 (sited from plans to
area centred at SU 573456). A number of refuse pits were
excavated, and a few sections cut across ditches. A hut also
uncovered at SU 57194550, was built over a pit 6ft. 9ins. deep.
It had about six occupation levels, the lowest of large flint
stones, being at a depth of about 3ft. 6ins. 106 coins were
found in the hut and two in the pit; one was a Trajan, the
others from Tetricus to Valens. One pit at SU57194552, was
15ft. deep and was probably a well. Finds from the area include
a large number of animal bones, New Forest pottery, fragments
of querns, bronze articles, nails, etc. Some of the material is
in the Museum. (1)
VINDONIUM (?). Probably the Roman settlement at the Wheatsheaf
Inn, North Waltham, Hants. (2)
