Abstract: |
No in-situ archaeological deposits were encountered during the evaluation although a considerable depth of re-deposited material, thought to have originated in the adjacent Roman cemetery and to have been dumped in the mid to late 19th century, was encountered. This material was seen to be in excess of 2 metres deep and was itself sealed by approximately 1 metre of modern dump deposits laid for the construction of the present garage. It was possible that parts of the Roman cemetery may have extended as far as the proposed development site and still lie preserved under this 19th century overburden. [Au] |
