Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken on a linear trench excavated for the installation of a replacement water pipe plus seven additional trenches excavated within the area of the original water pipe. All of the excavated areas were located within the existing carriageway. Those within the existing carriageway include an east-west linear transect through a Scheduled Monument (SAM 145), as well as seven further trenches to the east and outside the scheduled area During the watching brief natural drift geology was partly revealed beneath a sequence of deposits, the earliest of which contained artefacts of Roman date. Post-medieval activity in the form of service cuts and a roughly cobbled track way either overlaid or truncated the earlier deposits and modern levelling deposits, as well as numerous modern service cuts were seen to either overlay or cut through the cobbled track way. |
