| Abstract: |
A watching brief was carried out during building works at a site which occupied the position of he exercise hall of the Roman fortress baths in Chester, and also lay within the rear area of the burgage plots of the medieval town. A large Roman wall foundation had been recorded at an adjacent site. During the watching brief a pit containing Roman to post-medieval artefacts and five sandstone blocks was recorded, and a number of small rectangular features, possibly post-pits, were noted. Artefacts were recovered in only small quantities, but included fragments of Roman and post-medieval tile and brick, a piece of clay pipe, post-medieval window glass, several iron nails, two sherds of medieval pottery and one post-medieval sherd. It was noted that the site had been heavily damaged in the past. [AIP] |
