Abstract:		 Archaeological excavation was undertaken in advance of residential development that included the construction of 60 dwellings and associated parking and services. The area of the development was 0.74ha. Topsoil stripping across the site revealed areas of modern building disturbance, mainly concentrated along the western side of the site, which had removed archaeological remains with few exceptions. The central and eastern side of the site showed fewer areas of modern disturbance, consisting mainly of square concrete pads which were used to support the foundation pillars of dormitories built during the 1950s. The central and eastern areas of the site contained a number of cut features, mainly pits, post holes, curvilinear ditches and the occasional linear. Areas of cobbling were observed near the northern edge of the site which may have been associated with a yard. A number of the features on site may have been associated with structures. These included large post holes with packing and a curvilinear shallow ditch at the southern end of the site that may have been the remnants of a building. Many of the features excavated contained fragments of Roman pottery which dated to the 2nd-3rd centuries AD. Evidence for medieval activity on the site was restricted to a series of furrows that ran across the site in a north-east/south-west direction. [Au(adp)]
