Full description
1851 to 2. Site of broad northwest of Crankham Barn. Found in trenching.
Large quantity of Roman and 'Celtic' pottery including mortaria and Durobivian Ware, a little Samian, flanged and other tiles, iron nails, coins, glass and animal bones. Found by [1].
Information from NCM card by R. R. Clarke (NCM), apparently from Ordnance Survey notes.
Material not seen in recent times. Bolding notebook (S1) checked by E. Rose (NAU); one cannot be absolutely sure that all of this material is meant to be from this site, some of it may be from NHER 6214.
Also 'Roman pottery found at various points along the coast road' (S2).
R. R. Clarke said 'a fresh find; see (S3)'. However the context in (S2) seems to suggest it refers to this site and to sites in Cley.
E. Rose (NAU), 30 June 1980.
