Abstract: |
The archaeological observations undertaken on the site uncovered no evidence for any deposits either relating to the Roman villa or the medieval activity recorded in the vicinity. Small quantities of finds recovered from unstratified or residual contexts were consistent with the presence of a nearby high-status Roman building. Layers of cobbles of post-medieval date may have been intended to prevent erosion of an otherwise unsurfaced roadway. [Au(abr)] |
