Abstract: |
A watching brief was carried out and further hand-digging of selected areas was undertaken during level reduction for an access ramp and the excavation of a test-pit, at a site which lay within a Local Area of Archaeological Importance which included the area of a Roman town, sometimes known as Clausentum. Evidence of a Roman riverside wall, Roman artefacts and the site of a middle Saxon cemetery had been recorded in the vicinity of the site. During the watching brief, stratified Roman deposits were recorded at depths of between 5cm and 100cm from the ground surface. Roman pottery and building material recovered from the uppermost deposit could be dated to 250-400 AD. A single Roman feature, possibly a disturbed wall foundation trench, was noted. It was concluded that some 400 square metres of stratified archaeological deposits would be removed by the proposed access ramp and parking bays. [AIP] |
