Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at the proposed site of an office development within Godmanchester, which had been the site of a Roman town. Roman remains recorded in the surrounding area had included two successive forts, buildings, cremations, and a circuit of stone defences around the town. During the evaluation, a group of Roman features comprising a ditch, a human burial and a post-hole was recorded. The features were located near the western site boundary, adjoining the London Road, which followed the line of Roman Ermine Street. The fill of the grave contained early 2nd century pottery. [AIP] |
