| Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was commissioned in response to a proposal for the construction of a garage in a rear garden. The principal discoveries were part of a well preserved late Roman building, and deposits relating to a part of the rampart were seen and there was no investigation of earlier stratigraphy or underlying natural formations. The outer stone wall of a 3rd-4th century building survived to six courses above further foundation courses. External and internal demolition rubble deposits were present, the latter sealing a compacted mortar floor covered by fallen painted wall plaster. The demolition horizon was sealed by dark occupation deposits associated with a large post hole set into the top of the demolished wall. No finds, deposits or structures of medieval date were recognised below a post-medieval truncation horizon. [Au(adp)] |
