Finds and features of Romano-British date were noted during excavations at Berry Meadow in 1985. A linear feature of possible Roman date and a fire pit were recorded. The fire pit contained charcoal, burnt stones and fragments of lava stone querns. The charcoal produced a radiocarbon date of AD60-390. Other finds were residual: a sherd of samian ware, a sherd of south Devon ware, two unidentified Roman sherds, a handle fragment from a 1st-2nd century blue glass jug, a base fragment of a pre-AD70 green glass bowl or cup and two fragments of a blue-green glass flask. Weddell suggests that these indicate a prosperous native site of the 1st or 2nd century situated nearby, possibly to the south or west.
