Abstract: |
Archaeological evaulation prior to a planning application for three residential properties. Marsh House is thought to lie on the projected line of the Hadrians Wall Vallum. Four evaluation trenches were excavated. No evidence of the Vallum was found, however a boundary or defensive ditch was found to the north of Marsh House which contained sherds of mid 2nd century pottery in its primary fill and 14th to 16th century pottery in its upper fills. A ditch of post-medieval date was found on the same east-west alignment, suggesting that the Roman ditch had remained open for a considerable length of time. Other post-medieval features found were agricultural in origin. |
