Abstract:

An evaluation was carried out at the proposed site of a Public Health Building which overlay the southern defences of a complex of Roman forts. A pit, a rubbish pit and a post hole containing 18th-19th century pottery were observed. The southern side of the outermost of a pair of perimeter ditches of the Phase 1/2 Roman fort was revealed; this contained 18th-19th century pottery. A ditch of the Phase 3 fort was also recorded. No features were found outside the perimeter of the forts, and no internal features were observed. Internal deposits may have been destroyed by recent activity. [AIP]
