Abstract: |
Three evaluation trenches, excavated prior to the construction of an extension to Loushers Lane Special School, revealed considerable damage to the archaeological levels caused by modern development. However, sandstone footings of a Roman wall were revealed and an associated clay floor also survived. The remains may have formed the west side of a small rectangular building identified in the 1930's. Their survival well below ground level of the natural sandy subsoil, indicated a partially sunken room and suggested that the area once formed part of a hypocaust. [Au(abr)]\n |
