Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was being undertaken during topsoil stripping as part of the development of a new rugby ground. The development site lay 500 metres east of the Roman fort and civilian settlement of Derventio. Archaeological remains had been identified in the proximity of the site, ranging from Neolithic to Anglian in date. During the watching brief it was noticed that buildings were being exposed with associated cremation burials. The development was stopped and a rescue excavation instigated. Roman buildings, a Roman road, cremation and infant burials and storage pits were all recovered as well as an assemblage of prehistoric pottery and flint. The limited extent of the excavations were such as not to allow definition of the extent of the site but the archaeological remains revealed suggested a large settlement area being used from possibly the Neolithic through to Roman settlement of unknown proportions.
