Abstract: |
Three trial trenches were excavated in advance of the proposed construction of five townhouses and a garage block. Roman pits and ditches and four probably Roman inhumations were revealed by the evaluation. All features were shallow and were covered by at least 800m m of topsoil containing residual Roman pottery. This indicated that the previous land surface had been stripped at some stage, and other material dumped on top. [Au(adp)] |
