Abstract: |
Roman deposits including a metalled surface and a possible road base, were found in Trench A, to the north of the Hall. Significant quantities of pottery and animal bone were recovered. Trenches B and C lay to the west of the Hall. In B, human burials and part of a wall were found, together with significant amounts of Roman pottery and animal bone, half a stone spindle whorl and part of a shale bracelet. Trench C found the remains of a previously identified building; Roman pottery, animal and human bones and coin were found. The area nearest to the wrest wing and by the installation of services the archaeological potential of this are was lower tan is the case elsewhere. Trench D, south-east of the building, found two gullies cutting mixed Riman deposits and animal bone and pottery recovered, and pieces of Roman roof and flue tile were found in the topsoil.
