Abstract: |
Archaeological observation of 14 geo-technical test pits, revealed surviving Roman deposits across the whole area of the site. Most of the deposits consisted of Roman soil accumulation layers and fills of deeper features representing pits or graves, though a possible town ditch, stone and mortar Roman building foundation and part of a Roman street or lane. No detailed recording or observation was possible due to the deep natures of the test pits. [Au(adp)] |
