Abstract:
The archaeological evaluation was undertaken within seven evaluation trenches, of which, five measured 15m by 2m and two measured 2.50m by 1.10m. The results of the evaluation revealed the natural sand and gravel overlying clay. Much of the natural had been truncated by previous land-use. Within trenches 3, 6 and 7, located towards the western part of the site, a Roman ditch was uncovered. This was aligned north-east/south-west, following the line of the route of Stane Street. Recovered from the fill were a number of pottery sherds from a single 4th century Roman flagon. To the west of the ditch, within trench 3, successive layers of gravel and silt were noted, which may represent the truncated surface of the Roman Road lying a little further to the west. Within the north-western part of the site was the possible location of the River Graveney. This is denoted by a shallow drop in the natural clay by some 700mm, the depression infilled with a slightly organic brown silt. This silt contained a sherd of Roman amphora, but also 19th-20th century brick. To the east was a course yellow sand containing very small shells which may represent alluvial flood deposit associated with the river.
