Natural gravel was sealed by natural brickearth. A number of Roman
features, of possible 1st/2nd c date, were recorded on N and S side
of the site. These consisted of two possible pits or wells cutting
through the natural deposits, and of possible internal floors of
clay and timber buildings overlaying the natural brickearth. In
the eastern sector of the site a further series of undated deposits
were recorded above the natural brickearth, these could be anthropomorphic
in nature, and were overlaid by an undated roughly lain gravel surface,
in turn sealed by an early 18th c burnt layer, and 19th/20th c made
ground. Concrete and hardstanding sealed the site. |
