Basic Information

  • Series of linear/foundation cuts

Sub Groups

  • Sub Group: PCO06_395
    • Linear cut and primary fills
  • Sub Group: PCO06_397
    • Linear cut and primary fill

Group Description

    • Sealed by the Post Medieval soils was (1456), a deposit notable for the included fragments of chalk rubble and its 'cessy' nature, and which formed the upper fill of linear [1455]. This upper fill overlay lower fill (1577) that contained CBM and stone rubble. This cut was dug into (1479), the upper fill of N-S linear [1478]. Underlying (1479) was lower fill (1492). Fill (1479) contains large amounts of demolition material including tesserae, tegula, imbrex and small find - worked stone 156. It is understood that [1478] was a foundation trench, therefore it is probable that (1479) was a backfill deposit, post abandonment or demolition. Foundation trench [1455] was also dug into (1508), a dump of chalk fragments that lay in heavily truncated cut [1509], that appeared to have an alignment of SE-NW, and possibly represented foundation rubble, and was associated with [1455], Pit cut [1509] was stratigraphically above masonry dump {1591}, which may have been associated with building remains in the area.

Dating Information

    • The datable material recovered from the features in this group has been dated to 120-160AD. However, given the stratigraphic position of these linears, the dated material is seen as residual and probably dumped within the cuts as back fill after construction.
