Abstract: |
A programme of monitoring and recording was undertaken during highway improvements at Dodwells Roundabout, Hinckley, Leicestershire. The site lies on the route of Watling Street, the line of a major Roman road, and close to previous finds of Iron Age and Roman occupation. The project resulted in the recording of an undated layer of metalling predating thick makeup for various phases of modern roadbuilding. The metalling did not have characteristics of a major Roman road and might, therefore be interpreted as later surfacing on the line of the route or Coventry Road, which meets the roundabout from the northeast. There were no significant finds from the site. |
