Abstract: |
An archaeological desk-based assessment of the site revealed it to have been part of The Meads (an area of arable cultivation and pasture) prior to the construction of the leisure centre and existing sports pitches. The site lay in an area of the Roman settlement at Bishop's Stortford that was established on the eastern bank of the Story at the point where it was crossed by Stane Street. Previous archaeological work in the 1970s beneath the present changing rooms had revealed two phases of Romano-British occupation. Six trenches were excavated revealing multiple features of a Romano-British date in all trenches. The features recorded principally comprised pits and ditches, however, four inhumations of a similar date were also recorded within Trench 5. The features related to activity on the periphery of the Roman town, comprising a number of enclosures or field systems, and a cemetery in the south-western part of the site. [Au(abr)] |
