Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief on the River Idle wetland Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) at Bawtry was conducted at the request of the Environment Agency. Significant numbers of Roman pottery sherds and coins, dating to the 3rd and 4th centuries, were revealed in an unstratified layer below topsoil. In addition, possible in-situ column bases were revealed indicating a structure, which, from finds evidence, may have had a religious function. The site's close proximity to a strategically important Roman road and river crossing together with the nature of the finds make this a site of major regional and national importance. |
