Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation comprising the excavation of five trenches and a geophysical survey was undertaken by Channel 4's 'Time Team' around St Kyneburga's Church, Castor, near Peterborough, Cambridgeshire (NGR 512468.94, 298527.97) to investigate the remains of an extensive complex of Roman buildings. These buildings were first investigated in the 1820s by antiquarian Edmund Artis, and the buildings were interpreted as a single unified structure, subsequently termed a Praetorium. Several other investigations into the Praetorium of Castor took place following the publication of Artis's work in 1828 in an attempt to refine the complex's layout. Time Team's work aimed to clarify the layout of the Praetorium and to phase the development of the buildings. |
