Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at the proposed site of new buildings and an extension at a school. Roman remains were widespread in the general vicinity, and Saxon sites had also been recorded. A watching brief during an earlier construction phase at the school had recorded a large Roman ditch. During the evaluation, four shallow furrows, perhaps indicative of use of the site as a market garden, were revealed. The remnant of a heavily truncated grave and a ditch containing fragments of human bone were also recorded. Both features were of Romano-British date. Artefacts found included small amounts of clay pipe, brick, and Roman, medieval and post-medieval pottery. Archaeological excavation prior to the new development was recommended. [AIP] |
