Abstract:		 An archaeologcial watching brief was undertaken during the excavation of footings for a tractor shed. A Roman fort was established at Great Casterton in the 1st century AD. After this fort was abandoned, a Romano-British civilian town developed astride the major Roman road, Ermine Street. This town was provided with a defensive circuit in the late 2nd-early 3rd century AD. The present site lay within this Roman settlement, just east of the Ermine Street Roman road. The watching brief identified the remains of a late Roman robber trench and gully with associated 4th century pottery. These features were only partially revealed by the development, though they must have represented evidence for occupation at the centre of the walled town. The ground level in the area appeared to have been lowered and the Roman remains were at shallow depth, directly beneath a recent surface of crushed limestone. [Au(adp)]
