| Abstract: |
This report described the results of test-pitting both within and immediately adjoining Metchley Roman Forts. The test-pitting was undertaken in areas not previously evaluated archaeologically, and was intended primarily to provide details of the depth of overburden overlying the archaeological features, and for this reason investigation of intact features and deposits was excluded from the scope of the work. Three areas were investigated. Area 1 lay immediately to the west of the Phase 1-2 fort. No Roman features were identified here. Area 2 comprised the north-eastern angle of the Phase 1-3 forts, and surrounding areas. Test-pitting here was hampered by the depth of modern overburden, and the only identified feature was a road surface internal to the Roman forts. Area 3 included part of the eastern defences, and an adjoining area within the interior of the Phase 1-3 forts, where the base of a rampart, in situ Roman deposits and modern disturbances were identified.
