Abstract: |
Five ditches were identified in a cable trench during groundworks in the centre of the development area, adjacent to a small plantation of trees. Two adjoining sherds from the base of a Samian dish, dateable to the mid-2nd century AD, were recovered from one of the ditches, suggesting that it dates to the Roman period. A parallel ditch immediately to its east is probably of a similar date. These may be associated with the Roman settlement that was discovered during the construction of the airfield in the 1930's. The other tree ditches were modern; the base of one of these was filled with concrete, probably capping a redundant service associated with the airfield. The latter corresponded with a linear anomaly shown on a geophysical survey plot of the site, running parallel and to the north of one of the former runways. |
