Abstract: |
In March 2010 the Archaeology Service, Shropshire Council, carried out a watching brief on groundworks associated with widening and resurfacing the A489 road between Pentrehyling and Bluebell Crossroads, Brompton, in southwest Shropshire. This section of the road ran through an area occupied by the Pentrehyling Roman fort, vicus, and a number of Roman marching camps. These sites had been investigated archaeologically in the 1980s and 1990s, when finds of probable Late Neolithic date were also made. The 2010 watching brief also located a number of features associated with the Roman fort, vicus, and marching camps. These included the probable southern and eastern fort ditches, a number of pits within the vicus area, and the possible western ditch of one of the marching camps. |
