| Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at Castor Primary School, which was known to lie within the boundaries of high status Roman buildings, perhaps representing a 'palatial complex'. The work consisted of a single area stripped down to a depth of c.0.3m, which was the maximum needed for the construction of a concrete raft. The excavation revealed a layer of Roman debris, consisting of concrete, tile fragments, animal bone and occasional sherds of pottery (probably 3rd century). A single Roman narrow linear ditch was also identified as well as a large oval pit of unknown date. It was likely that the remains were contemporary with other high status Romano-British buildings known to have existed within the envelope of Castor village. [Au(abr)] |
