Adult Lothbury and Childs Vindolanda "Allendale" carbatina for comparison.
Both shoes are slightly larger then original with the Lothbury at @ 27cm long.
This type seems to be limited to Northern Europe and appear to be worn by the entire population from children to adults, dating would be later 1st cent ad to early 2nd cent ad, by the time the Antonine wall is being built these seem to have disappeared and appear to have been replaced by a related shoe, more of which later.....

"And the four bare walls stand on the seashore. a wreck a skeleton a monument of that instability and vicissitude to which all things human are subject. Not a dwelling within sight, and the farm labourer, and curious traveller, are the only persons that ever visit the scene where once so many thousands were congregated." T.Lewin 1867
