Abstract: Archaeological observation of the Ross East Phase 2 Mains Refurbishment Scheme was carried out between June 20th and September 6th 2008, with excavations occurring intermittently during this period. The section of the pipeline route detailed in this report extended through the village of Weston under Penyard along the line of the A40 from Weston Cross towards Ryeford, with a spur extending northwards to Bollitree Castle, situated approximately 450m W of the scheduled area of the Romano-British iron-working settlement of Ariconium. Regarding this, it is interesting to note that a single Fe object, interpreted as a large nail or tack of likely Roman origin, was found within an access pit excavated at Bollitree Castle, in an area where significant quantities of Roman metalwork and pottery associated with the nearby settlement of Ariconium have previously been found. Significantly, the archaeological observation confirmed that no archaeology was damaged or disturbed during the programme of works without being recorded.
