never mind that : Jack is spot on;
"....the settlement was probably abandoned and the enclosure ditch in-filled by the late 1st century AD and hence probably fell out of use during or soon after the Roman advance into the region."
of course how the 'Roman Advance' is defined is another matter....occupation, alliance, trade, ideas...concrete social process, not applied retrospective terminology...
...and without much insight into the fineries of muddy scraps of 'RB' pottery maybe I will still need some easily communicative Name for them...
(but Jack is right)
