ENN112205 - HS2: C31073, Blackgrounds Farm, 2021-22 (Excavation)

A small area excavated to the north-west of the main area of excavations. The most prominent features in the C31073 area comprised a series of ditches, many of which represented the continuation of features seen in the neighbouring excavation, and a stone-lined well. A deposit of dark earth, partially sealing these features was, in turn, truncated by the remains of stone structures, at least two of which were parts of Roman buildings seen in previous phases of work. All the structures, surfaces and features represented activity toward the northern periphery of the Blackgrounds Roman settlement.
