Abstract
Cressing Temple
T Robey
84 - 87
Dendrochronogy has confirmed that the two great barns at Cressing Temple, Essex, are of thirteenth-century date. Excavation and geophysical survey in the vicinity has revealed Iron Age, Romano-British and post medieval features, including the position of the Tudor `Greate House'.
Hoddom
Christopher Lowe
88 - 92
A report of the research on a major eighth-century Northumbrian monastery, which, unlike many other sites, was not revived in the twelfth century. Excavation, in advance of quarrying, has revealed a boundary ditch, several timber buildings, a kiln and a furnace. Another structure of sub-Roman date is thought to be a baptistry, perhaps associated with the foundation of the monastery by St Kentigern.
Snettisham
Ian M Stead
97 - 102
Five further hoards have been discovered at Snettisham in Norfolk. 175 torcs (or fragments), coins and ingots have been found along with iron slag and furnace debris. The hoards lay within a 20 acre ditched enclosure which appears to have been dug very early in the Roman period. There is no sign of any settlement contemporary with the metalwork.
The Orpington Roman villa
Brian Philp
106 - 109
Excavations began in 1988 on a known Roman villa site and it was possible to discern five clear phases of structural evolution commencing in the second century. A cover building has since been erected over the site and Crofton villa -- as it is now known -- is open to the public.
Salisbury Plain
David Scott McOmish
110 - 113
A large and well-preserved Romano-British village, together with field systems, trackways and water management features has been discovered within the military training area. A vast midden of late Bronze Age-Early Iron Age date has also been discovered; this contains large amounts of pottery and other domestic refuse. The quantity of material recovered and the presence of intervening chalk layers is claimed to indicate `feastings'. This feature -- similar in nature to a near eastern tell -- overlies an earlier enclosure.
How to fire a Roman bath or the confessions of a fornacator
Antony Rook
114 - 117
A light-hearted item on the experimental firing of a Roman bath. The principal result is the need to revise downwards the maximum reachable temperatures to 400C.
