Abstract: |
The excavation revealed parts of a prehistoric landscape that included at least one Neolithic pit and curvilinear ditch, a pit alignment of probable Bronze Age or Iron Age origin that was later redefined by a broad shallow cut. A cluster of pits and small post holes together with two small ring gullies, may have been of prehistoric date, though were located within the limits of a Roman camp. Substantial parts of this early-mid 2nd century AD Roman camp were surveyed and excavated, which proved to have been laid out with considerable geometric accuracy. The camp appeared to have been short lived, with parts of the rampart backfilled into the ditch, and was probably a mustering camp. [Au(adp)] |
