Abstract: |
The evaluation identified significant deposits of Roman date, concentrated at the eastern end of the quarry and along the proposed access road where it left the quarry. Deposits included the remains of a pebble surfaced road or track, further surfacing representing another track or small yard, and a series of ditches and gullies which would have provided drainage and bounded areas of activity and/or small fields. An area of buried Roman soil was also recorded along with a single post hole which suggested that evidence for timber structures may have survived. The survival of a buried soil and of areas of metalled surfaces, as well as cut features such as ditches, indicated that preservation of deposits at the site was good. [Au(abr)] |
