[Area centred SK 3910 5630] Hufton Hall Field was the name of a large area to be west of Ryknild Street and extending from the Street almost to Alfreton. The foundations, however, were probably found in the fields immediately opposite the 14th milepost. [Indicated by auth. on O.S. 6"] Intensive perambulation of the area has failed to find any trace of Ro. building debris. No trace of a Ro. building-site was seen in these arable and pasture fields. The area occupies high ground overlooking the Ro. road crossing of the River Amber. (5)
[Area SK 39025628] Light soil marks indicate possible buildings. (6)
