Abstract: |
The open area excavation followed a desk-based assessment and field evaluation on the site. The results showed that there was good survival of Roman remains. Out of 18 features excavated, seven were definitely Roman and three were possibly from this period. Features included a section of ditch aligned north-east, south-west, three intercutting pits indicated subsequent use over time, a post hole, a small burnt layer which contained charcoal and building material and contemporary pottery. The animal bone assemblage although poorly preserved, suggested it was a result of Roman butchery and cooking waste. The evidence suggested a relatively concentrated period of activity in that part of the site between the early and mid 2nd century (c.100-160AD) [AIP] |
