Abstract: |
An archaeological excavation was carried out in advance of construction of a new police station. Previous work on the site had revealed remains of Roman date including stone and timber buildings and metalled trackways. The remains of a substantial Roman building, perhaps one wing of a larger structure, were discovered. Probably two storeys high, the structure had been decorated internally with painted wall plaster. Several human infant burials were found in and immediately adjacent to the building, to the north-west a horse-burial was found. A number of small kilns or ovens were found nearby the building. Evidence of other stone and timber structures was identified across the site. [Au(abr)] |
