Description
‘At Muckleford, a section cut in 1939 across a terrace claimed by Foster as aqueduct, along the S.W. side of Marsh's orchard (63729368), produced Romano-British pottery but seems not to have exposed the channel, although the cut was extended first below and then above the terrace; but records and recollections of those concerned are incomplete (field notebook, and some objects, in D.C.M.; information from K.C.C. Selby and W. Thorneycroft).’ <1>
