Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at the proposed site of landscaping and tree planting works, within the Roman town of Corinium, a Scheduled Ancient Monument (County no. 361). The site lay to the south of the likely course of the Fosse Way, and immediately to the east of the site of the Roman Bath gate and the projected line of the town defences. During the evaluation, modern service trenches and post-medieval yard surfaces were found to overlie Roman deposits. Romano-British artefacts found included pottery, brick, tile, bone and a fragment of copper alloy interpreted as part of a bracelet. 19th and 20th century artefacts were also recovered. It was recommended that the proposed tree should be planted in the area of the evaluation trench, and that a watching brief should be maintained on any groundworks which penetrated to a depth of more than 0.60m below the modern surface.
