| Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at a proposed development site. Excavations at an adjacent site had revealed Roman metalled surfaces interpreted as a road, the projected line of which crossed the development site. During the evaluation, 1st-2nd century buildings and a Roman pit were revealed. The foundations of medieval buildings, and a post-medieval wall footing, were recorded. A rubbish pit containing animal bone, shell and 11th century pottery, and a medieval cess pit containing 12th-13th century pottery, were found. It was concluded that an excavation would be necessary if preservation in situ were not possible. [AIP] |
