Abstract: |
Excavation at Kingsbrook School, Deanshanger examined archaeological remains to the south-east of a Roman villa that was first identified in 1957, and confirmed the plan and extent of the south-east side of the villa courtyard, which were addressed together with the unpublished works produced 1957-1996. Late 1st century to early 2nd century ditch systems were identified in the north-east of the excavated area. In the southern area where truncation was less severe there were two rectangular enclosures dated to the mid-2nd century. Robbed walls dating to the late 2nd and early 3rd centuries defined the south-east corner of the villa courtyard and were aligned on the earlier enclosure pattern. Two circular stone structures, possibly bread ovens, were also found. |
