Abstract: |
The evaluation and excavation prior to the consruction of the new Dunalley County Primary School revealed a rectilinear Romano-British system of stock enclosures or garden plots delineated to the east and south by a trackway. The layout was substantially changed in the late second century, after which it was subjected to slight modifications indicating ongoing maintenance until some time in the third century. A poorly preserved system of curvilinear enclosures was uncovered east of the trackway. No definite structures were identified, but the presence of building materials and quern fragments suggested the presence of a nearby settlement.[Au(abr)] |
