Abstract: |
An excavation and a watching brief were carried out at a site where evidence of a stream had been noted during construction work in 1963, and where an evaluation in 1995 had revealed Roman levelling and demolition dumps containing a large amount of painted plaster, possibly indicating a Roman building. Two medieval pits had also been found, one of which had contained an 11th century bone comb, and an 18th century brick-lined cess pit had been recorded. The excavation, which was undertaken in 1996, had revealed a sequence of deposits dating from the Roman period onwards, confirming the sequence found in the evaluation, and revealing additional information. During the watching brief, timber piles and fragments of planking were observed, and two Roman coins were recovered. Finds from the surrounding deposits also suggested a Roman date, although no positive identification could be made. [AIP] |
