Abstract: |
Open-area excavation which aimed to ‘identify, assess, excavate and record’ any archaeological features, remains and deposits within the limits defined within the PDA by the previous evaluations. The excavation identified archaeological remains primarily dating to the Romano-British period. The main feature recorded within the site was the Romano-British road ‘Akeman Street’ and its associated road-side ditches which extended across both of the two excavated areas. Within the northern-most of the two areas (Area 1), the upper layers of the road, comprising the sub-layer and gravelled/metalled surface partially survived, although they had been truncated by later furrows and other activity, whilst within the southern area (Area 2), these layers had been completely removed by later activity. Aside from furrows and other more recent archaeological features, the remaining feature of note was a partially preserved post-Roman/Early Anglo-Saxon burial which had been placed within the sub-ballast of the road within Area 1. |
