Abstract:
Five trial trenches were excavated in response to a proposal to create a new fishing lake. The evaluation successfully determined the course of the Devil's Causeway within the vicinity of the proposed fishing lake. It also demonstrated that no significant archaeological features survived immediately to the east of the Roman road. The excavated portions of the Devil's Causeway were composed of a central 'spine' of worked blocks on either side of which were waterworn cobbles that had been laid to form the base of the road. There was no evidence for the provision of a gravel surface to the road. This arrangement was very similar to that encountered during excavations on other sections of the road in the 1930s. No other features, such as drainage ditches and quarry pits, or artefacts were encountered during this evaluation. [Au(abr)]
