Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Sites examined in 1966 were the amphitheatre, defences, insulae VII and XXX, and the Saxon church. The seating bank of the amphitheatre was of terraced earth retained by small walls, but the outer retaining wall has not yet been found. The foundations of a tower in the NE defences cut through an earthen bank interpreted as upcast from a drainage ditch. The turf and clay rampart flanking the tower was later cut by the town wall, whose different gauges are now seen to represent two different dates; later still, a bastion was added. At the Sands, Watermoor, a rampart and ditch may be connected with early military occupation. Search of Insula VII yielded no trace of the expected military timber buildings. In Insula XXX fragments of curved wall suggest a circular building, perhaps a theatre. In the Saxon church, the W end and half of the N aisle were excavated; crosswalls in the aisle indicate four chapels. The connection between the nave and E end presents problems of alignment but remains inaccessible to excavation. | |||||||||||||||
