Abstract: |
An archaeological excavation was carried out on the site of a proposed road scheme associated with the hospital development, to the west of the Roman fort defences. An oven, ditches, a trackway and pits associated with the pre-Flavian vicus were identified. Colluvial deposits were identified, associated with the abandonment of the vicus and the layout of animal pens. One ditch cut the colluvium, possibly representing a retaining fence, cut at a right angle to the western defences. [Au(abr)] |
