Abstract: |
Three trenches were excavated within the garden of the hotel. The site had previously been identified as forming part of a Roman cemetery. Two of the trenches proved to be devoid of archaeological features, although a soil horizon was encountered which may may have related to an accumulation of material during the Romano-British period. Trench 1 , however, proved to be of far greater interest. After the removal of the modern overburden, a linear feature was encountered, comprising a layer of cobbles placed in a shallow cut. Beneath this was a vertically sided cut, truncated to the west by the construction cut for the hotel basement. Both these features produced assemblages of Roman pottery. [Au(adp)] |
