Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The NW defences were sectioned and a small portion of the vicus cleared. The outer bank on NW proved to be a flood-defence against the river which formerly ran past the fort. The rampart, originally Flavian, and of clay with well-preserved timber strapping, had been faced with stone in ?2nd cent. Underlying it was a ditch, probably from a pre-Flavian occupation attested by stray finds. The outer ditch, originally of Punic shape, showed three phases of use; the middle and inner ditches had been recut, one frequently. Two wide intervallum road surfaces and a timber building with drawn posts were seen. Occupation continued into 3rd and 4th cents. Limited examination of the S defences substantially confirmed this sequence. Just outside the defences, two superimposed structures with well-preserved timber flooring overlay the perimeter road and yielded Flavian samian. After their demolition the perimeter road was reinstated; presumably there was a hiatus during the Flavian occupation like the later one at Castell Collen. |
