Abstract: |
An archaeological excavation and monitoring of footings for an extension to the drama block at St Helena School was carried out in June 2006. The investigation revealed pits, ditches and a gully all dating from AD 5-60 sealed by between 600-750mm of topsoil. The type of pottery and the presence of animal bone, slag, daub and Roman tile suggest domestic and industrial use similar to that identified as a result of the previous investigations at Sheepen. None of the remains could be directly related to the Roman temple complex under the school |
