Abstract: |
The evaluation was located in a wet, anaerobic layer above natural sand and gravels. The deposit sloped down towards the south and it was probably the edge of a marsh associated with the stream from Hum Hole that had since been canalised and ran to the southeast of the site. This demonstrated that the Roman town that lay to the west of the site had a good natural defence provided by the marsh and that the outer Roman defence was placed on the dry land immediately to the west of the marshy area. No deposits that could be dated to the Roman period were found. [Au] |
