Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation undertaken by AOC Archaeology between 6th June and 21st June, 2005 ahead of development works for the London Academy, Edgware. The evaluation consisted of twenty two trenches.The western edge of the development area revealed a good level of survival of archaeological remains with a series of ditches and several isolated pits and postholes recorded in Trenches 1, 2, 4, 6 and 7. These features all truncated a possible Roman occupation layer and much of the material recovered from the ditches and pits was dated to the Roman period. The alignment of the linear features, running north to south, and therefore parallel with the known Roman road, and east west, at 90 degrees to the road, support the idea that these features formed part of a Roman roadside settlement. Towards the east of the development area very few archaeological remains were observed. These were limited to a shallow undated pits and ditch in Trenches 12 and 19 respectively. The remainder of the trenches contained only ill-defined variations in the natural clay. Sections were excavated through these features to confirm that they were of natural origin. |
