| Abstract: |
Archaeological evaluation was undertaken in advance of the proposed construction of six houses, one flat and associated external works. The site lay immediately outside of the line of the later Roman town defences in an area believed to be a marsh during the Roman period. No Roman features or artefacts were found, but the evaluation did reveal peat and alluvial clay deposits. These may have reflected the nature of the environment on and around the site during the Roman period, although no dating evidence was recovered from these deposits. Post-medieval dump deposits were also revealed and a probable pit containing large quantities of 18th century pottery and other domestic debris. [Au(adp)] |
