Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation, comprising the excavation of four trial trenches, was undertaken in advance of proposed housing development. A number of archaeological features were recorded. These included at least one inhumation burial and a substantial ditch, both of Roman date. A further six features were also likely inhumation burials (based on shape and common alignment), though they were partially revealed within the trench and could not be fully characterised. A large area of medieval disturbance was recorded in Trenches 1 and 3, possibly relating to the quarrying of chalk. The Roman features probably dated to the later Roman period. The inhumation/s formed part of a late Roman cemetery that had been excavated previously adjacent to he site. No evidence of 'cross-shaped' medieval features recorded during excavations on the Friary site to the north east were recorded. [Au(adp)] |
