Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at a proposed development site where Roman remains had been recorded during 19th century quarrying. Human burials and a ditch and bank had been recorded, and large quantities of Roman artefacts had been recovered. Evidence of quarrying was observed within two of the seven evaluation trenches, whilst a limestone surface and an arc-shaped cut were found in the vicinity of a lime-kiln, in an area where a Victorian lime-kiln may have been located. No evidence of Roman activity was found, suggesting that the remains at the site had been limited, and may well have been destroyed by quarrying. [AIP] |
