Abstract: |
A total of 40 trenches were excavated throughout the site. A significant number of Roman quarry pits were found between the centre and the west side of the yard. These were cut into the natural gravel at depth of c. 1m OD. They were usually sealed by a yellow gravelly deposit, which was overlaid by a thick post-medieval agricultural/garden soil. Above this, a layer of ashy loose 19th century silt just below the made ground (2.50m OD was present). The features in this area suggest an open area landscape that was exploited in the Roman period for activities such as quarrying to extract material including sands and gravel. |
