Abstract: |
Two small evaluation trenches were excavated in the garden of a bungalow, adjacent to the churchyard boundary wall on the west side of St. Andrew's Church. The known Roman road from the Mendips to the River Avon, over the Dundry Hills, was thought to have passed through Chew Magna but its precise route was never located. During the evaluation a very solid, worn, cobble layer was found. It sealed a Roman pottery sherd and was almost certainly part of the road. Pottery dating from the late 11th/12th century and a wall were also found, which indicated the likelihood of early medieval occupation. [Au(adp)] |
