Abstract:
Evaluation at two sites took place before the excavation of a borrow pit and the construction of a batching plant for widening work on the A1(M). No evidence of Roman activity was recorded at Stilton golf course, however, the archaeological features at Tort Hill East were important. The ditch found may have represented the boundary of a property fronting onto Ermine Street. Very fragmentary remains of a building may also have been found, although the evidence was not conclusive.
