Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The evidence for Roman settlement in the north Avon levels is summarised and discussed. Unlike the main Somerset levels, the area has not been subject to major episodes of estuarine alluviation since the Roman period, and therefore the landscape, including earthworks, of that period is still visible in places such as south of Kenn and Banwell Moor. While there are many settlements on slightly raised land within the area, there are also significant tracts of low-lying land with no evidence for Roman occupation, and these may have been subject to freshwater floods. | ||
