Full Description
Several sherds of unstratified Roman pottery were found during the 1957 excavation of the Somerby deserted medieval settlement site. Included in the assemblage was a piece of 4th century colour-coated ware that had been made into a spindle whorl. It is not clear whether this adaptation occurred during the Roman period or was at a later date. {1}{2}
A significant number of Romano-British pottery sherds were recovered from the site in 1977, during a programme of field walking. {3}{4}
