Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation in the area of Fairfield Hospital was undertaken. Field walking produced significant concentrations of Iron Age and Roman pottery as well as large quantities of flint. Medieval and post-medieval manuring debris was also present. Subsequently a full Gradiometer survey was carried out to help target trenches. Results indicated occupation on the site throughout the Iron Age and Roman periods. A well preserved, and comparatively rich, Roman cremation burial of the late 1st-early 2nd century AD was also discovered. [AIP] |
