Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring was undertaken during groundworks to install a new waste water pipe where it crossed the line of a Roman Road. The road surface was encountered over a 23.5m length, rising to as little as 0.15m below the surface of the field . The pipe trench was excavated disturbing the road as little as possible, revealing the surfaces of the uppermost stones. There was clear evidence of damage to the road through agricultural activity. Large cobbles were present on the eastern and western sides of the road as expected from previous evidence. However, these were absent across the middle part, where the road lay just beneath the pasture surface. [Au(adp)] |
