Abstract: |
A watching brief was conducted during groundworks for an extension of the existing post-medieval house. The earliest feature found was an east-west aligned ditch measuring 0.7m deep. A Roman left nailed leather shoe was recovered from its primary fill, and the ditch was interpreted as a probable defensive ditch associated with Hadrian''s Wall. Environmental analysis showed the ditch had remained open for a time. An overlying wall and cobbled surface were dated to the post-medieval period based on cartographic evidence. |
