| Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at the proposed site of a pipeline, in the vicinity of the remains of a Roman building. Extensive landscaping had occurred in the valley in the 19th century, involving the creation of two large ponds. Within one evaluation trench, Romano-British tile and a sherd of post-medieval pottery were recovered. A dump of rubble which may have been part of an embankment retaining one of the ponds was also observed. Within the second trench, medieval pottery was found and fragments of Romano-British roof and flue tile, pottery and opus signinum were recovered. Deposits containing these finds probably represented elements of the 19th century or later landscaping. A profile surveyed across the valley suggested that the landscaping had built up the ground to retain the ponds, so that archaeological strata could have survived beneath the embanking in the west side of the valley.
