ascribed to CP2 will include the saucepans, ovoid 

 jars and globular bowls can all be paralleled at the 

 adjacent site at Brickley Lane (Timby 2001a) and 

 are well known across Wessex (cf Cunliffe 1991, 

 8 1 ; 1 5 1 -2) . The recognition of the fabric categorised 

 as DOR BB1 probably represents ceramics from 

 the Poole Harbour region (generally known as 

 'Durotrigian', Cunliffe 1991, 165-6) reaching the 

 area in the last half of the 1st century BC and into 

 the 1st century AD. This dating is supported by the 

 other, non ceramic finds, notably the silver Iron 

 Age coin SF233, from context 4205 and the 

 Nauheim Derivative brooch SF102, from context 

 3056 (associated with one sherd of SavernakeWare). 

 A recent reappraisal of Savernake Ware (Hopkins 

 1998) makes a pre-Roman origin for this industry, 

 probably commencing c. 10BC-AD20, a certainty. 

 This material, along with the Savernake products, 



mark CP2, a phase that in all likelihood spans the 

 late 1st century BC into the post- Roman conquest 

 period. Although the incidence is low, the presence 

 of Savernake Ware also supports Timby's 

 observations for a pre-conquest origin of this 

 industry (Timby 2001b). There is no reason from 

 the ceramic viewpoint to see any hiatus between 

 CP2 and CP3.The overall proportions of the CP2 

 and 3 fabrics are in general accordance with those 

 observed by Timby at Brickley Lane (ibid.). The 

 overall CP2 and 3 fabric totals for Wayside Farm 

 are presented on Table 5. Apart from the chip of 

 Central Gaulish samian from 3073 there is nothing 

 in the ceramic assemblage that need be later than 

 the later 1st century AD. 



There are very few ceramic indicators for 

 intensive Roman activity during the later 1 st or 2nd 

 centuries AD. A small quantity of samian (19
