Abstract: |
An intermittent archaeological watching brief took place in selective areas during excavations for a water main replacement between the villages of Coleby and Wellingore. Although several of the areas monitored did not result in the exposure and recovery of archaeological remains, important new information relating to the development of Ermine Street and, in particular, the extent and development of the roadside settlement at Navenby was forthcoming. The present brief allowed an incomplete section through Ermine Street to be recorded at the point where Coleby Heath Road crossed Ermine Street, complimenting earlier investigation further to the north. Earlier investigations had suggested that Navenby was the possible site of a Roman posting station, and that, during the later Roman period, both sides of Ermine Street were lined with substantial stone buildings. The watching brief revealed further evidence of the road (at least two phases) in the Chapel Lane area. Information derived from access pit 6.6 on the west side of High Dyke suggested that, in the later Roman period, stone buildings had started to encroach over the west side of the Roman road. Regretably, the exact location of the west side of Ermine Street (and any associated raodside ditch) in the Chapel Lane area was not located. This was because most of the trenching in this location was confined to small access pits rather than long sections. [Au(adp)] |
