Source Number  

1 A single residual sherd of Anglo-Saxon pottery was recorded from 77 Tiddington Road. Although too much should not be made of a single sherd, this could represent a further Anglo-Saxon focus along Tiddington Road, similar to those found at Nos 117-121, and on the track to Rayford Caravan Park (both unpublished at the present time).
2 A number of ditches and gullies, some containing sherds of Anglo-Saxon pottery an animal bone were recorded to the north of the Roman period settlement at 79 Tiddington Road. Two fragments of antler comb were recovered from the fill of one of the ditches. This reinforces the idea of a focus for Anglo-Saxon activity occurring in this area.

Description  
period Roman About 43 AD to 409 AD (the 1st century AD to the 5th century AD)

The Roman period comes after the Iron Age and before the Saxon period.

The Roman period in Britain began in 43 AD when a Roman commander called Aulus Plautius invaded the south coast, near Kent. There were a series of skirmishes with the native Britons, who were defeated. In the months that followed, more Roman troops arrived and slowly moved westwards and northwards.
