Abstract: |
A watching brief was carried out at a proposed development site, and two archaeological trial pits were excavated. During construction work at the site in 1954, evidence of Roman and medieval buildings, medieval cess pits and a yard had been recorded. During the watching brief, two areas of archaeological survival were identified. Features of a possible Roman date included wall foundations, two post holes and a pit. Medieval and post-medieval pits and a possible Roman opus signinum floor were also observed. Fragments of Roman building materials and pottery were noted within boreholes. [AIP] |
