| Abstract: |
A watching brief was carried out as a condition of Scheduled Monument Consent, during the excavation of foundation trenches for an extension. Test-pits previously excavated at the site had revealed layers of post-medieval levelling, over earlier infill which probably lay in the top of the filled in defensive ditch of the Romano-British town. Observations during the watching brief largely confirmed the existence of the Romano-British defensive ditch beneath the site. An area of stone cobbling overlain by a thin layer of compact clayey loam was also recorded. These layers represented an undated land surface, probably above the line of the infilled ditch, and pre-dating the stone footing of a brick wall which formed the northern boundary of the site. The base of a previously unknown wall, contemporary with the northern boundary wall, was also revealed. This apparently executed a number of right angle bends in a formal zig-zag, suggesting an ornamental garden wall. [AIP] |
