Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Two areas excavated at the Commonhead junction on the A419, to the east of Swindon, investigated the anticipated line of the Roman road there. One trench to the north of the roundabout revealed a wide hollow or ditch, aligned to the modern road, and dated by pottery and a radiocarbon determination to the Middle Bronze Age. Excavation on the roundabout island revealed an undated linear hollow on the same alignment with a rutted surface at its base. The hollow was re-surfaced in the medieval period. Although no firm evidence of a Roman road surface survived, the results are taken to suggest that the Roman road and its medieval and modern successors follow a more ancient alignment. | |||||||||||||||||
