Abstract: |
Five trenches were excavated to try to detect the Roman Road. However, in none of the five trenches was there any indication of the Roman Road surviving. The conclusion is that the railway and modern road systems may have contributed to the destruction of the Roman Road and, in addition, the use of the land in the recent past as a playing field may have involved full-scale stripping. A linear ditch may have been of a relatively early date but was absent of finds. A clinker filled trackway headed toward the railway and was clearly of post-medieval date. Post-medieval drainage systems were also encountered.[Au(adp)] |
