Abstract: |
A watching brief was undertaken during the excavation of a trench c.75m long by 5m wide for a new sewer between Fielden Bridge and St Andrew's Road. The route lay immediately to the east of, and and at one point crossed, Green Lane which was the presumed course of Dere Street, a Roman road. A previous evaluation of the site had concluded that whilst no archaeological features lay within the area to the east of Green Lane there was the possibility that significant deposits may have survived along the Green Lane. No significant deposits were encountered during the watching brief. It was possible that Dere street did follow its presumed alignment along the Green Lane and had not survived, however, the absence of any great depth of disturbance within the Green Lane, along with the discovery of the probable watercourse, suggested that the road did not lie on this alignment.
