Abstract:
Observation and metal detecting took place during groundworks some 200m to the east of a Roman road, and close to a Scheduled Romano-British site. Stripping of reworked soil horizons to a maximum depth of 300mm yielded a range of metal finds: many were quite recent (pre- and post-decimal currency, shrapnel, etc.) but there were also seven Roman coins (c later 3rd to mid 4th century) and several artefacts of late 15th to 18th century date. Apart from this there were very few finds, and no ceramic or other material of early date. In many areas the soil strip exposed natural gravel. However, one section of deeper pipe trench revealed an infilled stream channel, aligned roughly west-east and over 15m wide. The recorded depth was c 1.3m, although the waterlaid silt and gravel fills were not bottomed. This feature can be identified as a former tributary of the Ravensbourn, shown on a map of 1632 and probably infilled by the mid 18th century. The channel and adjacent surfaces were sealed by a fine sand/silt some 350mm thick (presumably natural hillwash), and thereafter by recent subsoil and topsoil.
