Abstract:
A single trial trench was excavated within the grounds of the school on the site of a proposed new classroom. The school was located within an area of known archaeological remains, including a possible Roman villa and associated cremation burials. Undisturbed natural geology was uncovered between 100mm-150mm below the present ground level. The base of a small pit, which contained a large proportion of a Roman two handled flagon, was dug into this undisturbed geological layer. The evaluation demonstrated that, although modern disturbance had occurred, there was the potential for surviving archaeological deposits in this area. [Au(abr)]
