Abstract: |
The investigations established the nature of archaeological deposits within the evaluated area and the depth at which they survived. The concrete floor of the 20th century RSPCA building had extensively truncated earlier deposits, effectively removing all evidence of post-Roman occupation with the exception of a number of deeply-dug truncated medieval pits. By contrast, the survival of Roman features and deposits was very good, with clear evidence of at least two phases of timber buildings associated with the fortress, an earlier ditch of unknown purpose and a late 1st century street. All the military features cut from the level of subsoil and occured throughout the trench. The later Roman period was represented by a probable boundary wall and a drainage gully. [Au(adp)] |
