Abstract: |
Four evaluation trenches and three machined test-pits were excavated to evaluate the archaeological implications of proposals to develop a site, partly situated within the scheduled area of Cirencester Long Barrow and Roman Ampitheatre and Cemetery (County Monument 39), as a supermarket. The Roman town wall and two external ditches, a possible terracing cut of late Roman date beyond the eternal ditches and two pits cutting into gravels below the alluvial deposits, were identified. Alluvial silts had accumulated between the Roman and medieval periods and medieval robbing of the Roman wall, levelling of the Roman rampart, and infilling of Roman ditches, was identified. During the post-medieval period the area was used as a market garden and a canal feeder was constructed in 1789. Actvity assocaited with the railway and recent 20th century landfill was also revealed. [Au(adp)] |
