Abstract: |
Roman deposits were found to be extant at the base of an sewer trench, measuring approximately 3.00m deep, in St Cuthbert's Lane, Carlisle. These deposits were relatively unaffected by later intrusive activity and as conditions were damp organic survival is likely to be good. The presence of overlying dark earth would presume that the full Roman sequence may be largely undisturbed. No form or spatial organisation could be ascertained but the presence of Roman cobbled surfaces suggests roads, buildings or yards indicative of sophisticated settlement and function. The watching brief proved that Roman stratigraphy is present to a thickness between 0.50 and 1.00m. |
