5.3.3 Pâture de Rully

On the upper terrace to the south of the Bussy brook, in the Pâture de Rully (also known as Champ de Rully), a possible Gallo-Roman temple was identified by R. Niaux (Rebourg 1994). A gradiometry survey confirmed the existence of substructures here, almost certainly representing Gallo-Roman buildings, but of unspecified form. The adjacent parcelle (99) was fieldwalked. Only a few finds were made, but they did include a Neolithic flint concave scraper and a retouched flake. The 7 sherds recovered (189g) included a fragment from close to the base of a Dressel 1 amphora from Albinia, and undiagnostic Gallo-Roman coarsewares; some probable Gallo-Roman tile was also noted.
