Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken in advance of a proposed housing development. An oblique section across a very large channel at least 25-30m wide and probably more than 2.2m deep, possibly artificial or enhanced from its original size, was revealed. Roman pottery of 2nd-4th century date was found throughout the fills of this feature, and it may have had a functional connection with other Roman activity found just to the south across Blackbank Drain in 1997-1998.
