Abstract: |
The watching brief was undertaken on topsoil stripping along the route of a new cycle-way, part of which lay within a Romano-British settlement. The stripping revealed a dense concentration of archaeological features at the north end of the cycleway. Wall lines were identified. To the west of this line a possible rutted trackway on roughly the same alignment was recorded. Other archaeological remains included deposits containing Roman occupation debris, stone spreads and a possible pit. Medieval finds included three sherds of 11th to 13th century pottery and ceramic building material, including a fragment of glazed roof tile. Fewer archaeological features or deposits were recorded in the southern half of the site, and significantly less Roman artefacts were collected. [Au(abr)] |
