Abstract: |
The excavation relocated and re-recorded in greater detail the Romano-British ditch identified by the initial evaluation. Further pottery was recovered from this feature, which dated to the 2nd to 4th centuries AD. A significant find of a patera handle fragment or a ritual vessel was also recovered from the upper fill of this ditch although this was residual. In addition, possible demolition material was located in the upper fill of this ditch. Three undated linear gullies found at the same depths may have been associated with this phase of activity. The site was also found to contain a series of undated and thin spreads of make-up material overlying the natural underlying sands. A series of sixteen load bearing brick pillars that formerly supported the cellar floor of the former malthouse were also identified along with a large and probably associated feature that was found at the southern end of the site. The accompanying watching brief did not identify any further archaeological features and/or deposits following the monitored removal of the reinforced concrete base of the former grain silos at the rear of Baird's Mill.
