Abstract:

Excavations revealed activity dating from the first to fourth centuries AD in this peripheral area of the Roman town of Alcester. The evidence was fragmentary, but traces of buildings of varying construction were found in several parts of the site. A northeast--southwest alignment appears to have been maintained. By the fourth century, the northern part of the site had become marginal to settlement and was used for burials. It is suggested that first-century timber buildings were superseded by developments from the mid-second century which included a major boundary ditch and substantial stone-founded buildings. By the late-third or fourth century, activity had generally declined. Includes separately authored reports on:
