A tesselated pavement.' (1) A site marked at SE 76307027, attributable to either Morris (b) or Mitchelson (c) may be a rationalisation of a leader to Roughborough Farm. (2) Mr Rivis, the tenant farmer, in 1950, told R.H.Hayes and N. Mitchelson that nothing Roman had been found since 1930 when he obtained the tenancy. He said the land was all light grey clay under six inches of soil and was not deeply ploughed. The clay may indicate a kiln. (3) [SE 76307026] ROMAN BUILDING [GS] (Site of).
