Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
[SP 3296.] Three sites in the Roman town were examined. A section across the E defences confirmed the late 3rd-4th century date deduced in earlier work. An outer ditch had not previously been seen elsewhere, and conversely no trace was found of the expected deep 1st century ditch. Timber buildings of late 1st century and of 2nd-3rd century had preceded the defences. The two other excavated sites revealed metalled road surfaces, one cut by a medieval timber building, but shortage of time prevented full examination. Attention is drawn to the chain of small fortified strong-points along Watling Street in 4th century, not yet understood. Samian, mortaria and coarse wares are published in stratified groups; there are also reports on brooches, other small metal objects, coins and geological aspects. |
