Abstract: |
An excavation and a watching brief were carried out in advance of the realignment of a culvert, at a site where a previous evaluation had revealed a ditch and a spread of Roman building rubble. During the excavation, two ditches and an early Roman hearth containing 1st-2nd century pottery were recorded. One ditch may have been the inner Roman town ditch, whilst the other was likely to have been a medieval ditch, constructed in 1378. Substantial post-medieval foundations were observed within the medieval ditch; these may have been associated with landscaping in an attempt to control floodwaters. A medieval or later cellar, a post-medieval property boundary and a 19th or early 20th century well and outbuilding were also recorded. [Au(abr)] |
