| Abstract: |
A watching brief was maintained during ploughing works within a field which was to be re-seeded and utilised as a public open space. The majority of the field was a SAM, owing to the presence of the remains of a Roman fort. A civilian settlement of this date had lain to the south and east of the field. During the watching brief Romano-British artefacts were recovered, including fragments of brick/tile, sherds of pottery and fragments of clay daub from buildings. The finds showed no significant spatial distribution, but the recovery of building materials indicated that the site had indeed been a fort rather than a temporary encampment. Nevertheless, the small quantity of artefacts recovered, particularly the small amount of pottery, indicated that occupation of the fort had been relatively short-term, probably no more than two decades.
