Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at the proposed site of a licensed premises. The road which passed immediately south of the site broadly followed the line of Watling Street, an important Roman road, whilst two evaluations in the vicinity had recorded a depression which may have represented the edge of the Roman roadside ditch, and stray finds, including prehistoric material and a Roman coin. During the evaluation, modern make-up and intrusions associated with previous buildings on the site were observed, and a ditch feature which contained no dating evidence was recorded. The known activity in the area and the level from which the ditch had been cut suggested that the feature had pre-dated the post-medieval activity recorded at the site. [AIP] |
