The excavation revealed two Roman wooden wells, showcasing an engineering failure and subsequent correction; the first well collapsed, leading to a reinforced second well.
This site, previously an Iron Age settlement, transitioned to an industrious Romano-Briton environment, necessitating extensive excavation to secure water supplies for metalworking activities.
Evidence suggests significant proximity to a larger trade network, supported by archaeological finds indicating a likely Roman road at the southern edge of the site.
Decorated larger pieces of wood found in the abandoned well hint at a systematic production, suggesting carpentry was integral to the local economy and trade.
