A fort site yielding a very small ceramic assemblage. Flavian occupation seems certain. Early 2nd century occupation rests rather precariously on sherds of BB1 which are unusual in Flavian contexts this far North. Work on nearby forts (e.g. Trawscoed) may resolve this problem.

This volume and the previously published excavation report (W H Manning, The Fortress Excavations 1968-1971, Cardiff, 1981) are the ‘structural reports’ of the excavations which produced the mass of pottery (particularly pre-Flavian fine wares and locally produced pottery for the fortress, but also much later pottery) which have given rise to Kevin Greene’s study of the early fine ware (Pre-Flavian Fine Wares, Cardiff, 1979), and to volumes on the samian, mortaria and fortress/post-fortress coarse pottery (Johns, Hartley, Greene and Webster, forthcoming) now in press. The two excavation volumes summarise pottery and other dating evidence (citing the fortress pottery type series where relevant) and this, together with the feature dating indices (e.g. this volume, pp195-189) are the key to relating pottery to features and to other items from each context.

cts/ets/sts
A heavily ploughed rural site, presumably of a farmstead. The pottery sequence may be compared with nearby Whitton (M G Jarrett & S Wrathmell, Whitton, Cardiff, 1981) and Llandough (entry no. 811). The early calcite-gritted wares and the Glastonbury-type pottery may be noted.

A heavily ploughed rural site with early occupation supported by a Dobunnic coin. The latest coin is cAD 367-375. The site is near Caerwent and close to a known later 3rd/early 4th century kiln site (Swan 1984, 115-6). The report includes an excursus on the Caldicot material (shortly to be supplemented by Barnett, ci al, in Archaeol J, forthcoming). Spencer draws attention to the similarities between the later grey wares on either side of the Bristol Channel. She concludes that South Wales was influenced by the NW Somerset (Avon) industry.
However, her tankard sequence, for instance, would suggest that
