Abstract: |
During the watching brief a large linear feature was identified. In plan this was seen to turn through one right-angle. During later phases of the work the feature was interpreted as turning thorough another right angle to form an open-ended sub-rectangular shape. Over the course of the watching brief, two sections were excavated through this feature, one by hand and one by machine. This indicated that the feature consisted of two U-shaped cuts with the later cut partially truncating the earlier. A small assemblage of faunal remains was recovered from both sections. A number of Romano-British pottery sherds were recovered from the area of machine excavation. [Au(abr)] |
