Abstract: |
John Moore Heritage Services carried out an archaeological strip and record of a minor Roman road in advance of new development (Planning Ref: 12/00651/EIASS) at Glenda Spooner Farm, Brincil Hill Lane, Kingsdon, Somerset (NGR ST 51051 25791). The archaeological excavation followed a geophysical survey (Stratscan 2008), aerial photograph survey (JMHS 2008a) and archaeological evaluation (JMHS 2008b) which identified and sampled a truncated road surface, considered to be a minor Roman road, which split from the main road near Ilchester and crossed along the western slopes of Kingsdon Hill and into the grounds of Somerton Erleigh. The road continues along the Poldens as a ridgeway, adapting its course to follow the ridge. The closest known Roman settlement to the site was at Catsgore Farm, 700m to the west and the road probably once connected this site with the main Roman settlement at Ilchester. |
