Abstract: |
A desk-based assessment and an archaeological evaluation were carried out in advance of the development of The Old Garage, Bowness on Solway. Although there were no known sites within the proposed development area, the desk-based assessment indicated that it lay within close proximity to Hadrian's Wall and the Roman fort of Maia. The village of Bowness contains a 12th century medieval church and the site of a medieval Peel Tower, but the majority of the sites identified by the DBA within close proximity to the development area relate to post-medieval development. The excavation of the evaluation trench led to the identification of Roman period soil deposits. A number of sherds of Roman pottery including samian ware and black burnished ware were recovered from these deposits along with animal bones, fired clay and a possible Roman sandal. |
