Abstract: |
Excavations were undertaken prior to the construction of residential units. A previous evaluation had identified that the site had the potential to yield valuable and substantial remains of pre-Roman, Roman, early medieval and medieval remains. The results of the excavations did not disappoint. Remains of a 'Belgic' ditch with assocaited ceramics in the fill were revealed which suggested the presence of pre-Roman activity. Cutting this were the remains of a Roman road which ran past the burial place of five inhumations which were associated with the line of the road and therefore dated to the Roman period. Several clay quarry pits were also revealed and were dated to the Roman period. A large assemblage of Roman pottery was also revealed. Early medieval ceramics were also revealed. Evidence for medieval occupation on the site was also identified and took the form of post holes, pits, pottery sherds and the possible foundations of a later timber structure. [AIP] |
