Abstract:
A desk-based assessment was undertaken in advance of a proposed residential development. There was considerable evidence of Roman activity in the area. A small town or village was known from Dymock and a Roman road passed through Newent, although its course from south-east to north-west through the town still awaited discovery. Evidence of Roman settlement and industrial activity was recorded from locations close to the eastern boundary of the site, in the form of cremations, coins, pottery, building material and slag.
