Abstract: |
The watching brief took place on the ground reduction for a rear extension. It appeared likely that the development area fell directly within a Roman ditch, almost certainly the eastern boundary of the town defences. This would dispense with the theory that the River Thame formed the eastern boundary to the town. A sequence of post-medieval dumping, demolition, landscaping and disposal of domestic refuse was also visible cutting into the upper layers of the Roman ditch. [Au(abr)] |
