Abstract:

<summary>Excavation in advance of development, and following an evaluation, found evidence of Roman activity. Beam slots and ditches suggested buildings and property/field boundaries. One ditch was of a military type, on a differing alignment from other features and of an earlier date, 1st century as opposed to 2nd century. A dark soil covered the Roman layers and a clay layer above this suggested marshy land, which may account for the absence of medieval features. {italon}AIP{italoff}{spacea}
