Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation, consisting of two trial trenches, was undertaken in advance of extensions and alterations within an area suspected of overlying a Roman camp. Trench 1 revealed three pits, one dated by pottery to the late 1st to 2nd century AD whilst two remained undated. Trench 2 revealed a V-shaped ditch which although not directly datable, was remarkably similar to, and possibly aligning with, a Roman ditch previously excavated some 75m to the north-west and thought likely to belong to a temporary Roman camp. Both trenches exhibited a substantial post-medieval plough soil, up to 0.74m thick, from which an almost complete 17th-century black-glazed storage jar was recovered. This layer seems likely to relate to the medieval ridge and furrow ploughing but could also be associated with post-medieval earthworks. |
