Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at the proposed site of a small housing development, which lay 20m to the west of the main building of the Roman town of Caesaromagus. This large courtyard building had been interpreted as a mansio. A previous excavation immediately to the north-east of the proposal site had revealed the west wing of the mansio and a gravelled approach road leading to the main entrance. During the evaluation, a ditch was revealed which ran to the west of the road and had formed a boundary along the west side of the mansio, enclosing the building and its immediate surrounds. A large amount of mansio building debris was recovered from the upper fills of the ditch; the late 4th century date of these fills dated the abandonment and demolition of the mansio to the very end of Roman Britain.
