Monument record 726/0/64 - Possible Romano-British Building & Ditches

{1} As the trench progressed north eastwards a series of ditches were observed. These features ranged in size from 0.3-1m in width. The north easternmost feature comprised a limestone wall 0.25m wide and orientated north west to south east. Three courses of a dry bonded stonewall survived the upper course being c.1.05m below current ground level. The facing stones had been only roughly cut suggesting the remains were a footing rather than a finished wall.
The wall observed and the presumed ditches may well relate to the Roman town but this cannot be confirmed without larger areas to examine or supporting finds.
