Abstract: |
An archaeological monitored topsoil strip and subsequent excavation was undertaken prior to the erection of a new cricket pavilion within the scheduled area of Lewisvale Park. The works were undertaken as a requirement of scheduled monument consent (AMH/3612/1/1). The excavation unearthed a highly significant suite of features including a large pit containing the formal deposition of two Roman sandstone altars and a sandstone altar base. A linear ditch and gully and a collection of pit and post-hole features were also unearthed. Both ceramic and metal artefacts were recovered. |
