Description

  
Source Number  

1 A group of 274 Roman sherds brought into Warwick Museum. This pottery seems to have a 2nd - 4th century date range and may commence only in the later 2nd century. This site also produced tile, suggesting the presence of a building. The site also had an unusually high proportion of Samian ware and other pottery such as fine wares, mortaria and white wares which might suggest a relatively high status site - certainly a reasonably prosperous farm.
2 4 pieces of Roman roofing tile, at least one being a tegula fragment, and 10 sherds of Roman coarseware pottery, found at SP 19 42.

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.
