Abstract: |
The proposed development lies on the periphery of the Roman settlement at Ware, which straddles Ermine Street. Previous excavations at GSK had investigated the Roman vicus, or small town, which grew up along the Roman road of Ermine Street. The settlement appeared to have comprised industrial and domestic activity together with a possible shrine or temple sited on the course of the road and extending for some way into back plots. The concentration of Roman burials, on the east and west sides of the small town delineated the limits of the settlement. Numerous investigations at GlaxoSmithKlein helped to define the Roman settlement as well as locating more limited evidence for prehistoric activity from the Mesolithic, Neolithic and Iron Age periods.
