Abstract:
Archaeological recording was carried out during groundworks for a children's play area in Oram's Harbour Recreation Ground. Excavations cutting down to chalk bedrock were few. What little evidence was recovered seemed to suggest that prehistoric and Roman features were concentrated on the far eastern side of the play area. Trenches on the western side of the site may have been too close to the ramparts to have attracted occupational activity. Part of a large Iron Age pit was excavated and was cut by a smaller Roman pit, dated by tile fragments. A second Roman pit was also observed nearby cutting through a possibly earlier, Iron Age feature. [Au(adp)]
