"APPLEGARTH", WEST OF ST ANDREW'S CHURCHYARD
Description: Two small trial trenches in the garden of a 1960s bungalow adjacent to the churchyard boundary wall on the west side of St Andrew's Church revealed traces of the Roman road from the Mendips to the River Avon, possibly RR540. There were also indications of a possible Roman roadside settlement, as well as earlier medieval activity pre-dating the laying out of the market place.
