Abstract: |
Four of the 12 trenches, excavated in the north of the site, exposed a number of post-medieval features including a large quarry pit, brick structures, and post holes/pits. The remaining trenches, in the south of the site, produced minimal remains. Although a dense cluster of archaeological features dating to the Romano-British period was exposed on a slight rise or knoll, thought to signify a localised focus of domestic and industrial activity outside the Roman town during the 3rd century. The remains included possible structural features that had been robbed in antiquity and more recently truncated by ploughing and industrial remains. The remains were not considered worthy of preservation in-situ, but did hold some potential for furthering the understanding of Romano-British iron working and might help understanding of utilising briquetage type industry or be the first inland salt processing/refining site yet identified.
