Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken as a planning condition prior to development. The site lay central to the modern town, but nearby archaeological excavation had established that the area lay at the periphery of both the Roman town of Durovigutum and the later medieval settlement. Recent development on the opposite side of the road had revealed pits, ditches and features of Roman and medieval date, though with little collaborating evidence of settlement. The site proved to be partially truncated, particularly on the western side. A single undated layer with limestone cobbles infilled a deeper area of the trench at the street frontage. The layer was cut by a limestone lined-drain of unknown date. No finds of Roman date were made, even within residual contexts. This suggested that the site lay outside the extent of the Roman town and did not suggest the presence of any extra-mural ancillary structures or burials in the vicinity. [Au(abr)] |
