Abstract: |
Four trenches were excavated before development on a site close to the projected line of a known Roman road, Stane Street, which extended from London to Chichester. At the north-west of the site were found two ditches with a cluster of shallow intrusions. From the silts of these features were recovered fragments of Roman pottery dated to the 2nd century or later and fragments of animal bone. Environmental analysis of the silts revealed evidence that the area had been damp or waterlogged and probably represented a marginal zone of a marsh where the ditches acted as demarcation.
