Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at Binchester Roman fort in advance of proposals to upgrade the visitor and educational facilities on the site. Two evaluation trenches were hand excavated within an enclosed area of rough ground, situated immediately to the north-west of the commanding officers bath house suite. In situ Roman layers and walls were recorded, including a cobbled yard surface and part of a stone-built structure with internal rammed gravel floor surfaces. A demolition layer was recorded which contained flat roof stones which had been cut by a grave for a later inhumation. Pottery evidence indicated that most of the deposits were of later Roman date. Further archaeological watching briefs were undertaken later on during the development process. [AIP] |
