Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Excavation at Bishop's House, Great Chesterford revealed a well-stratified, dated sequence representing occupation from at least the second century until the late-fourth century AD. The results provide further evidence that Roman settlement was extensive, and had developed beyond the limits of the Roman town to the northwest, which was enclosed by a defensive wall in the late-fourth century AD. The excavation lies within the area of a possible second enclosure to the southeast of the walled town, the full plan and extent of which have not been completely established. Five phases of activity were identified, the earliest of which is represented by ditches, gravel surfaces and a well dating to the second to mid-third centuries. Following levelling of the site in the late-third to fourth century, a timber-framed building was constructed. This was replaced in the later-fourth century by a substantial building with masonry foundations that was comprehensively robbed by the fifth century. Although the finds assemblage was small, there are a number of items of quality including a silver hairpin, a crossbow brooch and several interesting pieces of glass. The Roman pottery assemblage is also important, as it is one of few from Great Chesterford that derives from a well-stratified and recorded sequence.
