Abstract: |
open-area excavation The only archaeological features revealed were two Roman ditches G1 and G2. Ditch G2 corresponds with the ditch excavated within Trench 17 of the evaluation. It forms the corner of a boundary which is presumably defining at least a partially enclosed area to the north, with the section excavated within the trench being a part of its WNW–ESE aligned arm. It produced thirty-three sherds of Roman pottery, almost all of which were recovered from near the surface of a c.4m-long darker, charcoal-rich deposit visible within the top of the ditch. This darker deposit also coincides with the section excavated within the trench from which the substantial amount of pottery was recovered
Ditch G1 was located 16m to the south of, and parallel with, the WNW–ESE aligned arm of ditch G2. It was of a similar size and profile to G2 and was also filled with a brown sandy silt. It produced no finds, though its appearance and alignment suggest it is contemporary with ditch G2. |
