Abstract: |
The evaluation was carried out c.250 metres south of the Roman fort of Bravoniacum. Five of the ten trenches excavated contained archaeological deposits, varying in character and up to 1 metre deep. They included a possible Roman road surface, apparently cut by several cobble-filled features, and areas of cobbling which were interpreted as yards and wall foundations. In two of the trenches, three phases of activity were recorded. It was hypothesised that the remains had been associated with Roman properties within the vicus to the south of the fort. With the exception of a small amount of medieval and post-medieval pottery recovered from plough-soil, there was no evidence for post-Roman occupation. [AIP] |
