| Abstract: |
A three-day archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Channel 4's Time Team on the site of Binchester Roman fort, County Durham, in 2007. Geophysical survey provided information on the layout of the vicus. Earlier fort ditches were also mapped, along with the course of Dere Street to the west of the fort, a further road heading north-east from the fort, and a series of mausolea. Three trenches were excavated: one within the Scheduled Monument to examine the vicus and antiquarian excavations; one to examine large rectilinear features identified by geophysical survey and aerial photography, thought to represent the defences of an early timber fort; and one to examine the mausolea. The evaluation has shown that substantial and important stratified remains survive below ground, demonstrating their extent, character and condition. |
