Abstract: |
A watching brief was carried out during subsurface electricity cable replacement work. Part of the cable route lay alongside a Roman road. Bronze Age burial mounds, a late prehistoric or Romano-British settlement and earthworks representing the former extents of shrunken medieval settlements had been recorded in the surrounding area. During the watching brief, a cross section of the agger and ditch of the Roman road was observed. A wall of flint cobbles and a chalk spread may have represented an original component of the road or a later, possibly medieval, alteration. Two terraces, reminiscent of medieval house-platforms, were recorded, and medieval hearths and pottery were found. It was concluded that the site had lain in the vicinity of a medieval settlement. Excavation of three pole sockets at a separate location was also observed. Limited results were obtained, and the programme of observation was halted. [AIP] |
