Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken prior to the construction of a new lambing shed. The site lay in an area between the stone walled north gate and the outer earthwork of the Roman town of Silchester (CALLEVA ATREBATUM). The projected line of the Roman road to Dorchester lay close by to the east and the site may have lain in an area of the town cemetery. The evaluation trenches produced a quantity of pottery and some metal finds which indicated that there was Roman activity in the area. Neither of the two trenches conclusively revealed subsoil features and there were no indications that important archaeological deposits were present. [AIP] |
