Abstract: |
A watching brief was carried out during the excavation of service trenches for a new bungalow, at a site which lay within the defended area of the Roman town of Alcester. The building itself was constructed within the part which was a Scheduled Ancient Monument, Warwickshire SAM No. 128; it was erected on a raft foundation involving minimal ground disturbance. During observation of the service trenches, probable Romano-British features were revealed, including a cobbled surface, a pit and a ditch. Roof and hypocaust tile fragments suggested that a substantial building may have existed in the vicinity. [AIP] |
