Abstract: |
A watching brief was undertaken during the renewal of household gas service pipes. The two areas studied were located within the Hadrian's Wall corridor in two separate streets. The northern side of what was probably the Vallum ditch was observed in Broombridge Avenue, together with natural soil levels in Springhill Gardens. The work provided important information on the location of the probable Roman Vallum ditch and thus information as to the orientation of the east-west alignment of the Vallum. Also an interesting view of the buried natural landscape within, and across the inter-Vallum area. [Au(adp)] |
