| Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken in order to further assess the depth and preservation of archaeological deposits within an area to be developed for car-parking, and to monitor subsequent groundworks. The proposed development was located in an area of high archaeological sensitivity, which was reflected in its designation within a notification area of SAM Glos. 361 (Corinium Roman Town). It lay within insula III of the Roman town and the projected alignments of three Roman streets struck the periphery of the study area. Three preliminary test pits were hand-excavated, two of which revealed Roman deposits. The subsequent watching brief was largely undertaken during superficial groundworks for the carpark which rarely penetrated through the modern topsoil. However, excavations for a perimeter wall did reveal a Roman yard surface sealed by 'dark earth'. [Au(abr)] |
