The general condition of the Roman pottery from this site, which is very fragmentary and badly abraded, probably indicates that it has been disturbed a good deal since its deposition by subsequent agricultural or other activity and it is therefore unlikely that much of it was found in its original contexts. By far the majority of the material consists of coarse ware body sherds and the limited proportion of fine wares for ¿ill periods is probably indicative of the humble, domestic nature of the occupation. The evidence from the pottery, such as it is, suggests that the site was occupied fairly continuously from the late first to the fourth century AD and possibly even on into the fifth, with no discernible gaps. In the absence of good internal dating evidence, the chronology must rely heavily on external comparisons, but almost all of the types found here can be readily paralleled in London and more especially in well-dated contexts in Southwark.

1 Complete copper alloy bracelet. One end is hooked and would have been caught through the slot on the other flattened end. The decoration of stamped circles and the form of the bracelet can be paralleled on late fourth century examples from Lydney (Wheeler, 1932 fig 17). Interior, Box 95, L1.

2 Bracelet of copper alloy. One end is hooked but enough of the other survives to show that it was not flattened as No 1 above. The decoration appears to be formed by a fine wire twisted round the main bar. Spiral patterned bracelets occur throughout the Roman period. Interior, Box 227, L1.
