Abstract: |
Excavation and subsequent monitoring on the site of the new building uncovered Iron Age, Roman and Early Saxon features relating to the extensive settlement around Caudle Head mere. These were mostly ditches with some pits, but the density of features, particularly within the eastern half of the building, showed that this area lay within the main focus of occupation. Despite the site having been previously developed, the bottom c12cm of Roman occupation soil survived indicating that the features themselves survived intact. Monitoring of service trenches gave a chance to examine areas beyond the area of the building and showed the Roman occupation continuing under adjacent building 1140 and between buildings 1125 and the site. It appeared to show a drop-off in the intensity of activity at the north end of building 1140, possibly marking the limits of settlement in this direction. [Au] |
