Monument record 4946/0/16 - Traces of Stone Building Within Duston Roman Town

{1} Traces of stone building noted during topsoil stripping.

{2} Stretches of walling found at four other locations within the area of the watching brief indicated the locations of further stone buildings broadly though not precisely parallel or perpendicular to the through road and within 40m of it. Areas of gravel and limestone hard core indicate that most of these buildings were associated with small side tracks or yards probably linking them to the main road. This may suggest that domestic occupation extended at least a further 250m to the west of the main focus of rescue excavation.
