Abstract: |
An area 10m wide and 34m long was stripped and investigated, in advance of a proposed extension to Penrith cemetery. A previous evaluation had confirmed the presence of buried remains relating to a Roman road. This road was fully exposed and subject to further recording, it was around 7m wide and consisted of a shallow cut 0.30m deep filled with redeposited subsoil and cobbles. The road surface only survived in places because of plough damage, and consisted of gravel over a cobbled surface. A metal detector survey was carried out and a number of metal finds were recovered, though these appeared to be intrusive modern finds. [Au(adp)] |
