Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken in respect of a planning application for the construction of 10 domestic units. The evaluation consisted of the excavation of three trial trenches. Two trenches revealed ditches within the limits of an earlier larger ditch that probably formed part of the north-eastern enclosure of the Roman settlement. Pottery from the upper fills in the ditch sequence dated to the 1st century AD, suggesting that the later Roman recuts along the line of the ditch had cut through the earlier fills. The northern part of the ditch complex appeared to turn to the west within the limits of the garden of 121 Tiddington Lane, giving a possible indication of the likely extent of the northern part of the settlement. A pit containing pottery dated AD 40-70 was also located, and may provide evidence of early occupation in this area of the settlement. A series of undated gullies were located in the third trench north of the site of the settlement enclosure ditch. These appeared to be part of a field system, possibly of prehistoric date.
