Abstract: |
A number of site visits were made during groundworks for new playing fields, following the receipt of information concerning the discovery of Roman coins by illegal metal detector users. No archaeological sites had been recorded in the near vicinity. During the archaeological observations, which were not undertaken until works were far advanced, two possible small ditches or pits and an alignment of stones which may have represented a wall were recorded. Roman pottery, a bronze finger ring and a brooch were recovered. [AIP] |
