| Abstract: |
A watching brief was carried out during groundworks for a classroom and playground extension at a school, situated near a Roman fort which was a Scheduled Ancient Monument. A previous evaluation had revealed significant Roman stratigraphy at the site, recording two cobbled surfaces, butted by possible wall foundation slots for a building. Where possible during groundworks, the stratigraphy was protected by slightly raising the level of the raft foundations, but where this proved impractical, the archaeological deposits were rapidly recorded. The cobbled surfaces seen in the evaluation were identified, and were found to dip abruptly to the east, suggesting that they represented the edge of a cambered road or yard which had buildings fronting onto it. Roman and post-medieval pottery was recovered. [Au(adp)] |
