Medieval and post-medieval pottery.

Evidence for timber buildings of Roman date revealed during excavations. See SMR 3966 and SMR 3964 for Iron Age and medieval remains. See SMR 3970 for Roman fort.

An apparently pre-Roman Iron Age ditch was found sealed beneath Roman layers in the southern part of the site.

Various objects collected in the fields around Park Farm over the years include lead objects, Romano-British pottery and querns

Linear features and possible pits identified on aerial photographs

The top stone of a Romano-British beehive quern was found at Ashbourne church (?in the churchyard?) probably in or before the 1960s

The site of a building thought to be an outlying building of the same date as the founding of the Norman priory, and most likely used as a barn.

A small amount of lithic material and one Romano-British potsherd were found during fieldwalking in October 2005

Mid-Late Iron Age occupation site features that indicate a move from open to bounded landscapes. Some Late Bronze Age-Early Iron Age features are also represented. Residual Neolithic material is perhaps indicative that an earlier site was also present here.
