Abstract: |
A desk-based assessment of the potential archaeological impact of a proposed school hall at Cirencester Junior and Infant School, Victoria Road, Cirencester, Gloucestershire was undertaken. The site of the proposed school hall lay within the road frontage area of Insulae X of Corinium Roman Town, bordering the street dividing Insulae XI and X.\r\nA number of examples of substantial Romano-British stone buildings with hypocaust systems and mosaics were known in this area, along with evidence for prior and subsequent raising of the ground level. Occupation clearly continued into the 4th century and possibly into the early medieval period. Some evidence existed for Late Iron Age or 1st century activity.\r\nThe surviving archaeological deposits and features in the vicinity of the development site were almost exclusively Romano-British in date. Their depth below the surface varied from 0.2m (immediately below the topsoil) to 1.15m. This variation appeared to have been the result of activity within the Romano-British period to raise the ground level, possibly to counteract flooding. [Au(adp)] |
