Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at a site where an extensive spread of Roman remains, believed to have been associated with the nearby Broadstreet Roman Villa, had previously been identified. Many of the remains revealed during the evaluation represented the foundations of buildings which seemed likely to be a complex of structures associated with the villa. Other contemporary features, such as ditches, concentrations of flint nodules and a possible post hole, were also recorded. Of particular interest was a large ditch, possibly part of a significant boundary. Roman pottery and brick or tile were recovered. A group of small features which were probably of a recent date was also recorded. One possible post hole contained a sherd of post-medieval or modern pottery, whilst fragments of unidentified tile were recovered from two pits. It was concluded that the evaluation had provided a clearer picture of the extent and nature of the remains present. Further excavation, and a watching brief during works outside the area of primary archaeological interest, were recommended. [Au(adp)] |
