Abstract: |
The watching brief was undertaken during the construction of a sewage rising main located in the Somerset Levels. Previous remains relating to the Romano-British draining of the area had previously been found in the vicinity. The construction of the sewage main provided an opportunity to re-evaluate a site containing possible late Romano-British timbers (NSSMR 1374) first brought to light in 1974. The results of the project were largely negative, but significant. The indications that this part of the Somerset Levels may not have undergone any significant drainage or reclamation during the Romano-British period and may have remained largely natural saltmarsh until the medieval period or later.
