Monument record 3776/2/8 - Early Roman boundary ditch, Polwell Lane

A substantial early Roman boundary ditch, aligned east to west, was identified during archaeological observation undertaken during the construction of a new dwelling. The

{1} Archaeological observation undertaken during the construction identified few archaeological remains despite the site's location. A single, quite substantial ditch, was recorded running broadly east/west across the excavation area. This contained early Roman pottery. The evidence suggests that ditch may represent an outlying boundary, on the periphery of the Roman settlement which lay c.70m to the south of the site.
