Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Two Romano-British sites were investigated in advance of the construction of a gas pipeline to the north and east of Bristol. A small inhumation cemetery within a system of ditched enclosures was excavated near Tockington Park Farm, the site of a Roman villa. The cemetery and the associated ditches probably date to the late-second or early-third century AD, although evidence for activity continuing into the later-third or fourth century nearby was also found. As the villa at Tockington is thought to have been built in the late-third century, the cemetery may be associated with a phase of settlement pre-dating the villa. The second site, near Westerleigh, was interpreted as part of a Romano-British rural settlement with evidence of activity spanning the first to late-third centuries AD. Four cremation burials of first- to second-century date and a rectangular pit containing traces of a coffin represent a phase of funerary use. Seven other shallow pits containing burnt material appear to be somewhat later than the cremation burials. A phase of activity in the third or fourth century is represented by ditches and a spread of sandstone rubble. Includes specialist reports on | |||||||||||||||||||||
