(SU 6462). Excavations were designed to investigate (a) a previously unsuspected polygonal enclosure of c 85 acres, the Inner Earthwork, which lay partly inside and partly outside the line of the familiar Roman town wall; and (b) a western extension to the known line of the Outer Earthwork, which increased the size of this enclosure from about 213 to 235 acres. The aerial observations of these earthworks were confirmed and extended by fieldwork and excavation. The Inner Earthwork was a defence of Gaulish "Fécamp" type erected, on the south, over an area of late pre-Roman occupation, the first clearly identified at Calleva Atrebatum, but one with strong "Catuvellaunian" influences in its pottery series. The Inner Earthwork was probably constructed by Cogidubnus in or shortly after AD 43-4 to defend the most important settlement in the NW of his dominions. This earthwork was replaced by the Outer Earthwork also during Cogidubnus reign. Earlier discoveries of pre-Conquest material are collated with excavation results. The total evidence is finally related to the Belgico-Roman topography of Silchester and its neighbourhood. Au(abr) | ||||||||||||||
