Abstract:		 An excavation was carried out within an area proposed for new buildings at a school. Romano-British remains, including pits, pottery and a surface, had been recorded within the school grounds, and Roman Ermine Street passed within 50m of the proposal site. Evaluation of the site had revealed a large Romano-British ditch, backfilled with domestic refuse which contained human skull fragments. During the excavation, post-medieval pits and post holes containing pottery and clay pipe fragments were revealed, and plough furrows of medieval and post-medieval date were recorded. Two Romano-British pits and a ditch containing human and animal bone were also found. The human remains were likely to have originated from inhumations pre-dating the backfilling of the ditch; Romano-British cemeteries had been recorded near the site. [AIP]
