This site lies in the Upper Thames Valley region of west Oxfordshire/Gloucestershire, an area densely occupied during the later Iron Age and Roman periods. The settlement appears to represent a small rural farmstead complex with origins in the Late Iron Age (c. 100 BC) continuing through the Roman period, likely into the 3rd or 4th century AD — a pattern of continuity typical of native settlements in the Cotswold fringe and Thames gravels.
