Abstract: |
A watching brief was carried out by archaeologists from Archaeology South East, a division of the Institute for Applied Archaeology, University College London, on a 400m length of pipe trench being excavated to a maximum depth of 1.4m for the laying of a new sewer main. This trenching was done in the roadway itself or in the verge on the eastern side of the road. This area was of particular archaeological interest because it ran on the suspected line of a roman road and through a scheduled monument, a Romano-British Mansio (Roman Posting Station) at Westons Farm (SM 29242). During the course of the trenching, it was discovered that the majority of the trenched area was previously disturbed by previous services already laid in the road. A fragment of amphora was found in the backfill of one of these service trenches. In the undisturbed areas, three linear features and a pit were seen in the section of the trench, although no dating evidence was recovered from these features. Two buried road surfaces were also identified, one of post medieval or early modern date and one of suspected roman date. A horseshoe was recovered from the suspected roman road surface. |
