Abstract: |
A archaeological evaluation found several different phases of Roman land use an occupation within the site. The earliest was represented by redeposit brickearth and levelling layers, which may have related to gravel quarrying for the construction of the Roman road from London to Colchester. These deposits also contained evidence of agricultural land use, presumably as pasture land for livestock. The second phase related to construction and subsequent use of a substantial roadside building. The next two phases related to demolition of the building, changes in land use and boundaries, as well as construction of a gravel alley way or a side road leading to the main Roman Road. The final phases related to the land being converted back to agricultural use and the establishment of new boundaries, marked by a boundary ditch. The southern end of the site also showed evidence of later land use in the form of post-medieval garden deposits. [Au(abr)] |
