Abstract: |
An archaeological excavation was carried out on a section of Roman road in advance of the installation of an electrical cable. The road comprised a foundation of large cobbles and sub-rounded stones set directly onto the old ground surface, with the voids packed with angular coarse gravel. It was surfaced with small grained coarse gravel. A large spread of stones located close to the road was excavated and is interpreted as a stockpile for road builders or menders. A shallow pit and a nearby mound of upcast was also discovered. The pit contained a large in situ boulder and is interpreted as a quarry pit for the road. |
