Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at the proposed site of a relief road and associated housing development which was crossed by a Roman road, part of which survived as a linear earthwork in the southern part of the relief road route. The site of Bolnore Park was also to be affected by the development. A geophysical survey was undertaken prior to evaluation. This failed to provide conclusive proof of the existence of the road. A narrow, linear anomaly was plotted close to the road alignment; this was truncated by an anomaly to the south. Other anomalies were interpreted as former field boundaries and trackways. During the evaluation, a stretch of sandstone foundations with patches of metalling was identified on the suggested alignment of the Roman road, and the earthwork agger was investigated. A feature interpreted as a drainage ditch associated with the plantation of Balnore Wood was noted in the vicinity of the agger. No further features of archaeological interest were discovered.
