Abstract: |
A fairly high level of archaeological activity was recorded on the site, with several features intercutting each other. The evidence pointed to the site being an open area used for rubbish disposal in the Roman period. No definite Roman burials were revealed. One feature could have represented an inhumation burial, and various pots were found. Several patches of gravel may have been metalling for a Roman trackway. A watching brief carried out after the excavation revealed no new information. [Au(adp)] |
