A fragment of black pottery, and a portion of a vessel with a handle were also picked up. (2) This house is now called 'Durlston Cliff'. There have been no further recorded discoveries in the vicinity. (3) Listed under Roman in the Commission. No further information to that listed in (2) above. (4)
