Abstract: |
The evaluation, ahead of proposed development, comprised three elements of work: evaluation trenches and watching brief of a sewer pipeline (1998); archaeological observation of engineering test pits (Jan 2000); evaluation trenches across Field 3552 (April 2000). The works demonstrated that an area of Roman archaeology survived along the eastern side of the proposed development area, whilst the western side of the field had little or no archaeological deposits. Along the eastern side of Field 3552 the archaeological deposits indicated a straightforward stratigraphy of 2-3 phases dating from the early second to late-third/fourth century. The most important archaeological feature recovered in the evaluation was the east-west lying road of Roman date. The existing deposits along the eastern edge of Field 3552 were part of the large Roman settlement which had been largely removed by the 1960s/1970s work. [Au(abr)] |
