Tollgate Farm Update

 

Below are two photos of a second spouted pot recently found not far away from the original. These are highly unusual and it is remarkable that we have two from the site. Dr Vivien Swan thought that our original spouted pot was probably not made in this country, but had been brought over with the army after the invasion.

 

Work has now finished for the season at Tollgate.

Tollgate Farm Update

 

Below are photographs of recent work and finds from the 2008 season. Interpretaion of the site is difficult, especially the frequent shallow areas containing pot and showing evidence of burning. We assume that various small industrial processes were taking place over a scattered area. Some of the personal finds continue to give glimpses into the lives of the Romano-British occupants of the site, including the enigmatic lead pot repair and the beautiful bronze toggle-like object.

 

Work will continue at Tollgate until the end of October.
