Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at the proposed site of an extension to an industrial estate, which was crossed by the projected line of a Roman road. Isolated prehistoric artefacts had been recorded in the vicinity. The road was found to lie approximately on the line shown on the Ordnance Survey map, and was seen to be relatively well-preserved. Following on from the evaluation, one trench was fully excavated by hand and a section of the road was recorded. No other significant archaeological remains were observed - only post-medieval artefacts were found - and it was concluded that development at the site need not be delayed by archaeological constraints.
