Abstract: |
An archaeological excavation and watching brief along the line of Morton Street ran concurrently with the lying of a new gas service pipe. A small Roman period ditch was revealed to run north to south, away from the Roman fort of Arbeia on the Lawe Top 125m to the north. Elsewhere, at the south-west end of the area investigated, laminated silts were encountered where the natural clay markedly dropped away to the west. It was not determined whether this was a natural phenomena or man-made. [Au(abr)] |
