Abstract: |
The evaluation was undertaken prior to the proposed redevelopment of the site, which lay within Insula XII or XIII of the Romano-British provincial capital of Corinium. Four trenches were excavated, comprising a 2% sample of the proposed development site. In trench 1, a very substantial cobbled limestone surface, interpreted as a possible road surface of Romano-British date, was identified. In trenches 2, 3 and 4, layers interpreted as Romano-British were exposed a recorded. In all four trenches, this horizon was sealed by a substantial layer of post-Roman ploughsoil, which in turn was sealed by modern deposits associated with the construction of the existing buildings.
