Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Two areas were opened in the garden: Area A, a transverse section across the via decumana, and Area B which investigated the northernmost contubernium of Barrack XII, and the southernmost rooms of the attached centurion's quarters. Three major structural phases were recorded in the barrack area. The first, of Flavian date, saw site clearance and the erection of a concrete-floored building flanking the via decumana, with a gravelled yard to the rear; the yard was used for ironworking.In the second phase industrial activity ceased, the building was demolished, and a stone barrack erected on the site. The barrack dates to the Trajanic period. By the late second century the barrack had been demolished and replaced by a clay-surfaced hardstanding. A resumption of Roman activity, after a long interval, was detected on this surface in the form of a hearth, a shallow pit, and dumps of pottery which included types current at the end of the third century. Numismatic evidence points to systematic robbing of surviving stone in the seventeenth century, probably at the time that the cottage was built. The via decumana itself was shown to have at least two main Roman surfaces and several phases of repair.Reports on the finds include details of coins, including a Neronian dupondius and Charles I farthing, `The Roman glass' by Jennifer Price (80--8), `The small finds' by Janet Webster (88--90), `Samian wares' by K T Greene (91--6), `The coarse pottery' by Peter Webster (96--105), `Stamped tiles' by G C Boon (105--6), and `Graffito' by Richard Wright (106).
