Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at the proposed site of a new sports hall and other buildings at a school. Numerous Roman artefacts had been found in the area, and a Roman building with associated ditches, early Roman pits and gravel workings had been excavated to the west. During the evaluation, a probable Roman boundary ditch was identified and two possible Roman gravel extraction pits, one containing a sherd of Roman pottery, were recorded. Later features included a post hole of probable post-medieval date, a post-medieval boundary ditch and a further possible boundary ditch or plough furrow. Medieval and post-medieval finds were recovered. It was recommended that a watching brief should be undertaken during development. [AIP] |
