Abstract: |
Groundworks associated with the strengthening of sea defences were monitored in December 1996, and a surface artefact collection was undertaken in the surrounding area, due to the proximity of an important complex of Roman buildings excavated in 1982-3. A resistance survey of the area fieldwalked was subsequently carried out. Part of the site was found to have been affected by moisture, so that the low resistance obscured any archaeological features which may have been present. However, the survey established the presence of hitherto unsuspected archaeological features close to the Roman building, and revealed the fact that features noted in section in 1996 were likely to have been linear ditches. The features near the building hinted at the existence of a complex of buildings relating to that excavated, whilst the ditches may have represented part of a field system associated with it. It was concluded that several other anomalies could not be identified without excavation. [AIP] |
