Abstract: |
Five trial trenches were excavated across the site as part of an archaeological evaluation prior to proposed development of the site. These were designed to investigate the areas immediately north and south of the alignment of Roman Stane Street which ran east-west across the assessment area and to investigate any ground disturbance associated with the former railway embankment which occupied the southernmost part of the assessment area. The evaluation reflected the findings of the desk-based assessment with the Roman road being located in trenches 2 and 4. Archaeological features representing settlement activity of almost certain Roman date were located along the northern edge of the road, post-dating at least some phases of the road construction. The archaeological remains had been truncated by the levelling of the former railway and modern activity. [Au(adp)] |
