Abstract: |
An excavation was carried out within the Roman fort prior to development. The earliest Phase 1 features identified comprised of ovens and hearths. Later, two timber-framed buildings were laid out either side of the Via Praetoria. Structure 1 may have been used as a workshop. The Via Praetoria with associated flanking ditches continued in use until Phase 3 when it was resurfaced. In Phase 2B a building with clay floor was built and a timber framed building which was destroyed in Phase 3 and replaced with a granary with associated loading platforms. A yard surface belonging to a post-medieval hunting lodge and post-medieval ditches that cut the Roman ditches tangentially were also identified. [Au(abr)] |
