Abstract: |
A watching brief was carried out during soil stripping at a small development site, where an earlier evaluation had revealed a probable 2nd or 3rd century AD grave, a pit containing a human cranium fragment and 13th-14th century pottery, an early medieval gully and a large late medieval or post-medieval feature which coud have been a section of a ditch. A major Roman road ran c. 1km to the west of the site, and the course of the Car Dyke, a Roman canal, passed 200m to the east. Anglo-Saxon cremation urns had been found within Baston village. During the watching brief, a small ditch dating from the 3rd century AD and a number of large pits were observed. A range of periods from early medieval to modern times was represented by those of the pits which could be dated. Their functions had probably included both gravel extraction and waste disposal. An articulated horse skeleton which was probably of medieval date was found. [AIP] |
