Abstract:
The evaluation was undertaken in three phases; an initial fieldwalking survey, a first stage of evaluation trenching in the area of densest finds concentration, followed by the completion of the trenched evaluation across the rest of the available survey area. The investigation defined the nature, extent and relative survival of an extensive area of Romano-British deposits which included the course of Akeman Street Roman road, 1st century AD cremation burials and other deposits including quarry pits, and later Roman occupation in the form of humic soil spreads and linear ditches. The full extent of Roman occupation covered an area of 8 hectares. Other subsoil features and deposits included localised evidence from prehistoric activity and, largely undated, evidence for cultivation and field ditches of probable Romano-British or medieval date.
