| Abstract: |
A watching brief was carried out during groundworks for an extension, at a site which lay between the inner and outer defences of Roman Clausentum. Construction of an earlier extension on a different side of the building had revealed the 1820 shoreline, an east-west Roman ditch and a possible Roman pit. During the 1998 watching brief, two east-west Roman ditches, 0.3m apart, were recorded. One had been infilled during the late 2nd or early 3rd century. The second contained Roman ceramic building material and either cut or was cut by a large pit dating from the 1st century AD. [Au(adp)] |
