Abstract: |
<summary>Excavations in advance of road construction on Offa's Dyke and several known Roman sites including Pentreheyling Fort revealed several phases of activity. Initial marching camps were superseded by the fort and an associated {italon}vicus{italoff} (although this may represent military extra-mural industrial activity only) in the 1st to 2nd centuries. This seems to have been followed by much reuse of the site in the 3rd to 4th centuries. The section of Offa's Dyke investigated had been badly damaged by post-medieval quarrying. {italon}AIP{italoff} {italon}SMR Primary Record Numbers:{italoff} 1211 - 1214, 1000 |
