Abstract: |
An evaluation of a site was commissioned by a potential purchaser of the land. The results of the trial-trenching indicated that the archaeological deposits were remarkably well preserved, with little damage caused by the recent semi-industrial activity on the site. Features and finds covering the whole Roman period were discovered, fitting in with features found on nearby sites in the past. Although no structural evidence was recorded for Roman buildings finds of rooftile and hypocaust tile suggested substantial buildings in the vicinity. Small quantities of later material were thought to represent manuring scatters. [Au(abr)] |
