Abstract:
An evaluation was carried out at the proposed site of a residential development which lay in the immediate vicinity of a Roman fort. Two trenches had been excavated within the application site in 1976, to a sufficient depth only to identify the rampart and inner ditch. However, the trial trench excavated in the 1998 evaluation revealed the foundation walls of Victorian terraced houses, demolished in the 1970s, and a road, which may have been an access route associated with the construction of either the nearby Chesterton High School or the houses. An apparent bank in the extreme north of the trench appeared to have been made up of natural deposits, possibly re-deposited. No evidence of the fort rampart or associated ditches was observed, which seemed to suggest that they had lain beyond the application site, and that some re-assessment of the previous excavator's projected ramparts could be necessary. It was noted that any archaeological remains which may have lain within the southern part of the site were unlikely to have survived the disturbance caused by levelling and Victorian wall foundations.
