Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was required in response to a proposed house extension. The principal discovery was the location of the north side of the main east-west street through the Roman town, linking the East and West Gates. Alongside to the north were late 1st/early 2nd century occupation deposits, cut through by two walls of a later Roman stone-founded building fronting the road. Successive drainage ditches separated the road metalling sequence from the outer southern building wall. A sequence of floor and occupation/destruction deposits were seen within parts of the two rooms identified. Medieval stone robbing had removed all but the unmortared foundations of the walls. Medieval rubbish pits and more extensive truncation had severely affected some of the Roman deposits, although much of the road sequence survived intact, up to 1m thick. [Au(adp)] |
