Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at a proposed development site which lay within the area occupied by the Roman town of Corinium. Excavations undertaken nearby had recorded the remains of Roman streets and buildings. During the evaluation, deposits interpreted as debris from Romano-British structures were recorded beneath probable medieval soils, the lowest levels of which contained Roman finds, presumably derived from the underlying deposits. Post-medieval soils containing clay pipe stems and pottery were also recorded. It was recommended that the design of the proposed development should be such that the Roman deposits would be preserved in situ. [AIP] |
