| Abstract: |
A watching brief was carried out during installation works for a new water main, which passed through an area containing early Roman tile-making kilns, a stretch of the Lexden Dyke and cropmark evidence of early field systems. The excavated trenches were quickly flooded with ground water, so that only limited observations could be made. Discernible stratigraphy in one area consisted principally of reddish-brown stony sand, interrupted for a stretch of 13.8m by a greyish-brown sandy clay. Although on the course of the dyke, the interruption was centred 12m east of the projected mid-line of the ditch, suggesting it to have been the result of soil erosion rather than ditch fill.
