Abstract:		 An open area excavation and watching brief were undertaken on land proposed for residential development, after an evaluation had taken place. Despite quarrying activity and post-medieval development connected to the railway station, the area under consideration was fairly undisturbed. The excavation and watching brief were required due to the presence nearby of extensive remains of the small Roman town of Ashton. The excavation identified several pads of compacted, non-bonded stone fragments on a raft of gravel which, whilst they were all of a similar construction, could not be physically linked. A stone wall of four courses contained by a construction cut was found, aligned north-west to south-east. Across the rest of the site features included shallow linear features of unknown usage and several pits of probable Roman date. Also identified was a brick structure probably connected to the railways and a large brick surround for a sewer. [Au(adp)]
