Abstract: |
An open area excavation of a 55m2 trench revealed evidence for late 4th century stone founded buildings aligned to the main North-South road through the Roman town. Preliminary results suggested that these may have been workshops, with at least one associated with iron smithying. Open areas of land associated with the buildings featured rubbish pits and wells. The most prominent building, House 1, was aligned at 45 degrees to the Roman street grid and featured flint foundations. This structure is thought to date to the Iron Age, with further use occurring in the 4th century, by which time it had grown to 37 metres x 15.6 metres.The structure was subsequently penetrated by a large number of pits containing votive deposits.
