Abstract: |
The watching brief was carried out during mains replacement near Hadrian's Wall. 8 of the 26 trenches monitored lay within the area of a Scheduled Roman fort. Trenches 9-26 lay in the probable area of the vicus. Modern disturbance was encountered within the fort, although some Roman deposits had survived. Several of the trenches outside the fort contained no archaeological deposits. However, evidence of intensive Roman activity, including waterlogged remains, was found to the south-east. Features included a timber trackway, a wall foundation and a clay oven. It was concluded that the wall demonstrated the presence of buildings in the probable vicus. [AIP] |
