Abstract: |
Excavation ahead of residential development of the area where a Roman road had previously been located was intended to discover whether there were any associated features nearby. The road was discovered to consist of layers of gravel on a cobble foundation which in turn was bedded directly onto the clay subsoil. The excavation showed that the upper ground surface was cleared in advance of construction, and the subsoil layer may have been truncated to create a rounded profile to provide a camber for the road. There were probably kerbs at either side. [Au(abr)] |
