Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring was carried out during groundworks for a residential development and an associated access road, and the excavation of a service trench, at a site which lay within the area of a walled Roman town. Discoveries in the near vicinity had included 1st and 2nd century buildings, 3rd and 4th century features, Anglo-Saxon pottery and medieval buildings. An evaluation of the proposal site had revealed well-preserved features of prehistoric and Romano-British date. These features, which had included structures, ground surfaces, domestic rubbish pits and enclosures, had been recorded within 0.25m of the present ground surface. A significant quantity of prehistoric and Romano-British artefacts had been recovered from the site. During the monitoring exercise, it was ensured that the majority of the archaeological deposits were preserved in situ. Deposits and features which were directly affected by the groundworks comprised a hearth, gravel surfaces, pits and possible post-holes/gullies. These were dated to the late 1st-early 2nd centuries AD. Artefacts recovered included 24 sherds of Roman pottery, two post-medieval sherds and small amounts of Roman and modern tile. [AIP] |
