Abstract: |
An archaeological investigation consisted of 38 trenches in advance of an RSPCA centre. The trenches were devoid of features apart from trench 3 which exposed part of a Roman cemetery on the northern boundary of the site. This consisted of four inhumations aligned east/west with the head to the west in Grave D. The grave cuts were enclosed by a possible fenced area indicated by post holes. Grave D was sampled by a keyhole excavation which exposed a left shin bone at the east end of the grave cut and two iron nails were retrieved, found with their points uppermost. [Au(abr)] |
