1 A silver 'stater' of Coritanian style in November 1987 was recovered from this site using a metal detector. The stater is of South Ferriby type and dates to the first half of the first century AD. It has on one side a boar right, only the hind legs being distinct; on the reverse side is a horse, with chest and girth straps, prancing right. A quarter of the coin's flan has broken away of which two tiny fragments remain. Weight 1.09 gm.
2 An Iron Age presence was indicated, but it is not clear whether this represented earlier occupation or native craftsmen working within a Roman manufacturing centre.

period Iron Age About 800 BC to 43 AD

The Iron Age comes after the Bronze Age and before the Roman period. It is a time when people developed the skills and knowledge to work and use iron, hence the name ‘Iron Age’ which is given to this period. Iron is a much tougher and more durable metal than bronze but it also requires more skill to make objects from it. People continued to use bronze during this period.

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.
