Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out within the grounds of a football club, at the proposed site of a new car park and access road for an adjacent factory complex. Remains of the Roman town of Ware had been preserved beneath factory buildings. Previous excavations had recorded Mesolithic flint scatters and substantial Roman remains, including burials, buildings associated with Ermine Street and parts of the road itself. During the 1995 evaluation, pottery dating from the Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age and from the 1st-2nd century AD was recovered. Roman pits, ditches and structural remains were recorded, and two inhumations were found. Several features contained large numbers of complete limb bones and skulls from animals such as cattle. It was concluded that the features revealed probably represented the sites of backplots to workshops and dwellings on Ermine Street. [AIP] |
