Abstract: |
A previous evaluation and excavation had revealed the line of the London to Chichester Roman road 'Stane Street' crossing the north-western part of the site. The watching brief comprised observation and recording of contractors' groundworks and service trenching on the projected road alignment. A substantial length of the road was recorded to the north of the previous excavation trenches, together with a section across the presumed north-western roadside ditch. Moreover, this record showed a further drop in the road surface where this overlay alluvial sands and gravels, which probably represented the infill of an early channel noted previously. It was possible that there continued to be a shallow ford in this area, at least in times of seasonal flooding. [Au(abr)] |
