Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at a site where many archaeological discoveries had previously been recorded, principally comprising Roman buildings and burials. The excavated trenches revealed that stratified Roman deposits on the south edge of the site lay very close to modern ground level. In the central part of the site, evidence for a burnt Boudiccan structure was found, apparently to the east of the previously recorded building 2. On the northern edge, in the vicinity of the temple-like building 1, another stone structure was recorded. A single inhumation burial, which was probably of later Roman date, was found on the eastern edge of the site. Other features included Roman rubbish pits, a post-medieval brick wall and a Roman surface, which apparently formed a pathway. Finds included pottery, painted wall plaster and burnt debris of Roman date, and two residual prehistoric struck flints. [Au(adp)] |
