Rawlence, about 1/2 mile east of Swaythling Church on the bank of the old canal, revealed wall foundations of Isle of Wight limestone, two broken square tiles with mortar on them - probably from pilae of a hypocaust, and fragments of Samian ware. The site appeared to have been systematically ransacked for its material. (Cf SU 41 NE 2, numerous Roman finds, which Crawford suggests may be associated with the site).
