Abstract: |
An excavation was undertaken on area 20, within the Roman Fort. The earliest features identified were up to five buildings. These were cut by two timber-framed buildings, forming part of the first formal fort layout. Part of the praetentura building, along with two internal divisions were identified in the western area of the excavation. This building was separated from the praetorium by a gravelled trackway. These buildings were levelled and three irregular buildings, part of the military store depots, replaced them. A later structure, an oven and pitting were also recorded. The phase 2B timber-framed buildings and associated features were the latest phase of Roman activity. A late post-medieval ditch following the fort alignment was also identified. [Au(adp)] |
