Abstract: |
During the watching brief, carried out on the erection of crash barriers located across the line of the inner fosse of Clausentum, a number of archaeological finds were recorded. Evidence, in the form of brick, glass and ceramics was found dating to the Roman and Saxon periods suggesting human activity on the site during these times. Human bones, including a skull, were also found within the inner fosse, which possibly indicated the presence of the Saxon cemetery in the manor house grounds. Limestone rubble was probably derived from the 19th century demolition of a wall that consisted of at least two courses of limestone masonry. It probably represented a Roman or medieval gateway and barn, as recorded by John Speed in the 18th century. [Au(abr)] |
