Abstract: |
The evaluation recorded significant Roman archaeological deposits within test pit 1. This comprised the in situ limestone rubble beneath a modern ground surface. This deposit was thought to be related to the Roman rampart material, also encountered during previous investigations of the Roman town wall adjacent to the site. The rubble was dated to the 4th century by the presence of a coin of Constantius II. The rubble was sealed by a post-abandonment soil. No deposits of Roman date were encountered within test pit 2 and the excavation was restricted to depth of 1.2m beneath the modern ground level. The only feature encountered was a ditch of post-medieval date. [Au(abr)] |
