Abstract:
The desk-based assessment established that Ashmole School lay c.80m to the west of the supposed route of the Roman road known as Viatores 220 which followed the Borough boundary. However, earlier evaluation of the playing field between the school and the Borough boundary had failed to reveal any archaeological features or any sign of the Roman road. The implication of this was that either the remains of the road had been completely destroyed in this area or that the assumed route of the road was wrong. The site was considered to be of low potential for all archaeological periods. The proposed site of the new school building would be c.130m to the west of the supposed route of the Roman road and in an area that had at least partially been artificially raised in the 1960s. The combination of the lack of evidence of the Roman road revealed by the evaluation, distance from the route and the presence of raised levels therefore lead to the conclusion that the proposed new school buildings would have no archaeological impact and that further archaeological investigation in relation to this development was inappropriate.
