| Abstract: |
The watching brief within the barn itself yielded no archaeological finds. However, the extension to the southeast, revealed Roman features. Trenches exposed features associated with the fort, consisting of the fort ditch, aligned with an earthwork to the north-west, and a further smaller ditch and gully which ran parallel and to the north-east of the fort ditch itself. These features were filled with and sealed by a blue grey clay deposit that may have been flood deposition. The results of the watching brief showed extensive survival of Roman archaeology in the immediate environs of the barn, and at quite a shallow depth below the surface. It was recommended that any further ground intervention within the farm area be closely monitored. [Au(abr)] |
