Abstract: |
The evaluation comprised the excavation of a single test pit to enable an assessment of archaeological potential, prior to the determination of a development planning application. The archaeological evaluation identified the presence of probable late Roman demolition evidence at a depth of 0.19m (107.46m OD) from the Modern ground surface. However, the most archaeologically significant deposit present within the evaluated area was probable Roman floor surface (110). This was present at a depth of 0.7m (106.96m OD) below the Modern ground surface. As this layer appeared to be a demonstrably Roman deposit, it was left unexcavated as per the Methodology. The presence of Roman demolition material in the form of deposit (105), along with a quantity of Roman CBM and a small fragment of painted wall plaster would strongly suggest the presence of a Roman building within the near vicinity. It is possible that surface (110) was an element of this structure. The evaluation provided a modest assemblage of Roman, Medieval, Post-medieval and Modern pottery, along with Roman CBM and painted wall plaster, a Roman coin dated to between 337 and 361 AD, a fragment of clay smoking pipe, glass, animal bone, oyster shell and vitrified material. |
