Abstract: |
The evaluation revealed the presence of features dating to the Roman and medieval periods within the areas investigated. A Roman ditch was encountered which was likely to have a delineated a property boundary associated with the Roman road to the west. Artefactual material recovered from this feature comprised Roman pottery, including imported Samian fine ware and fragments of daub, this material often being associated with structures. The presence of this material within the boundary ditch indicates the likely presence of Roman settlement in the locality. [Au(abr)] |
