Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological excavation and observation prior to, and during, the construction of a new sewer was undertaken. It was thought that the development area contained important buried remains associated with the Roman small town of CUNETIO. A surprising density and range of Roman features were identified and extended the known area of Roman activity to at least 300 metres to the west of the defences of the Roman town. Revealed were a significant range of archaeological features, including a substantial, possible defensive ditch, a well, inhumations, structural features and settlement debris. The majority of the features were likely to have been of late 1st to 2nd century AD date, although a small late Roman element was present in the finds assemblage. [Au(abr)] |
