Sporadic finds of Roman material were made during the digging of foundation trenches of houses lying either side of Retreat Road in Topsham. Two circular rubbish pits cut to a depth of over 10 feet were noted, and the existence of others. The pottery was mostly later than AD150, fragmentary and much abraided.
