Abstract: |
The archaeological excavation within the school grounds revealed evidence of a Roman surface and the remains of a collapsed/demolished building within insula IV of the Roman town. These Roman deposits were encountered at depths of between 0.55m and 0.7m below ground level. The dating evidence suggested the demolition/collapse took place some time after the 3rd century AD. The earliest archaeological deposit within the immediate area of the new sports hall revealed possible Roman deposits at a depth of c.1.55m. Overlying the Roman deposits was evidence of post-medieval landscaping, most likely associated with agricultural and garden use, which had heavily truncated earlier deposits. [Au(abr)] |
