Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
reports on the excavation of a Romano-British structure, which was situated within a rectangular enclosure. This building appears to have been built during the second century AD, and seemingly post-dates the construction of the enclosure. The function of the building is uncertain, although the author postulates that it might have been dwelling house, which was possibly also employed in agricultural production. Tiles were found in some of the post holes of the structure, indicating that the building was created at the same time as, or later than the initial introduction of tiles to the site. The tiles found at the site are interpreted as having been locally produced, which is supported by the excavation of kiln debris from the infill of the enclosure ditch. However no direct evidence of tile production on the immediate site was found. The article suggests that the production of tile in the area of the site was likely to have been of fairly short duration, possibly to meet a demand for the re-roofing of military buildings in Chester shortly after AD 158. At some point, the enclosure ditch was used to dump large quantities of the tile and some pottery. Amongst this debris, was an example of a consular-dated stamp for the year AD 167, which provides a terminus post quem for the dumping process. Seven tiles were found to bear the stamps of the twentieth legion. Mesolithic lithics and medieval pits and pottery attest to the site being occupied during other periods. | |||||||||||||||||||
