| Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken on a greenfield site, the aim of which was to establish reliably the continuation of the Roman road in the area and to determine the existence of any features associated with the road. This was followed by an archaeological watching brief undertaken during early 2001. The work was carried out as a condition of the planning permission for residential development. This added to the previous evaluation trenches located across the middle of the present site. During the watching brief of access road 7, a cobbled surface was exposed comparable to that of the earlier evaluation. This may have indicated a surface on the approximate projected alignment of the Roman road, but its date remained questionable. A cobbled surface in Trench 5, exposed by the evaluation, appeared to be post-medieval in date. A substantial stone deposit north of access road 7 may have been the remains of a clearance cairn, again of unknown date. [Au(abr)] |
