Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at a proposed development site. Archaeological remains of prehistoric, Romano-British and later date had been recorded in the surrounding area, including several human burials and cremations of Roman date, and two Saxon warrior burials. During the evaluation, several Roman gullies or ditches, possibly representing boundaries within a settlement, were revealed, and a post-hole was identified. The Roman features were overlain by a layer of dark soil which contained Romano-British pottery. This deposit had been cut into by modern refuse pits, and was sealed by a layer of concrete which formed the present surface of the site. A single human bone was recovered from a deposit of Roman date. [Au(abr)] |
