Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken in advance of a proposed extension to an existing bungalow. The site lay within the footprints of an early Roman auxiliary fort and the later walled small town of 'Peturia' which were situated on the eastern edge of a an important harbour, Brough Haven. A single trench provided evidence for a sequence of Roman deposits and cut features, including a ditch and deposits which may have related to the initial temporary camp and late 1st to early 2nd century anxiliary fort which pre-dated the civilian settlement. Overlying these, were a series of levelling layers, floors and hearth presumably associated with buildings next to one of the roads of the civilian settlement. The later floors were associated with a substantial masonry wall foundation, which had been largely robbed, before being sealed by a layer of 'dark earth' in the early to mid 4th century. As had been the case elsewhere in Brough, there were no signs of later 4th century activity. [Au(adp)] |
