During the dry summer the outline of a building was seen at the centre of this field from the air. A small excavation was carried out and it proved to be a Roman Building. Did this mean that the adjacent river didn’t flood in the Roman period.

There is a cropmark in the larger field to the immediate northwest SJ 4147 5305. It does appear to be a natural depression and work associated to remediate the depression. There is no evidence to support the author's statement. A hypothesis is that this may be a misreferencing/remembering of the excavations being undertaken at Tilston during the 1980s.
