| Abstract: |
An excavation and watching brief was carried out on the site of the College. The area had been identified as being of high archaeological importance (SAM 28484). The watching brief on a pipe trench revealed a deposit of clay and cobbles running about 2/3 of the length of the trench. The evaluation to the north of the main College building and immediately south of the pipe trench, revealed mainly 19th and 20th century features and soil horizons. However, excavation in the centre of the trench revealed a deposit of clay and cobbles as identified in the watching brief. This consisted of two phases of cobbled surface, which abutted a metalled surface at the western end. Roman tile, brick and pottery were uncovered embedded in the cobbled surface. The evidence suggested that a series of extensive cobbled surfaces associated with the adjacent Roman fort of Stanwix. [Au(abr)] |
