Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
A watching brief and salvage excavations were carried out in late 1984 during topsoil stripping prior to the construction of a bypass running to the west of Wollaston. At the highest point on the roadline a complex of features was recorded and investigated. Prehistoric activity comprised a linear ditch, a pit alignment and part of a hut circle, together with a cluster of pits of BA or EIA date. The majority of the features were Roman. Two major ditch lines appeared to form the north-western corner of a large ditched enclosure. Within this area, subsidiary ditches were located, while a corn-drier and the furnace room and remnants of a plunge bath were subject to limited salvage excavation. The location of a bath-house within a ditched enclosure would seem to confirm the presence of a villa, lying largely to the east of the roadline, as suggested by previous fieldwalking. A small amount of the pottery recovered was second to third century in date, but the bulk was fourth century and associated with building materials dumped in the enclosure ditches and within the demolished bath-house. A scatter of early to Mid-Saxon pottery sherds in the final ditch fills revealed a Saxon presence on the site, while a sunken-featured building dated to the later sixth or early-seventh century AD provided evidence for Saxon occupation immediately outside the ditched enclosure. | ||||||||||||
