Archaeological Evaluation (April 2005)
NN72SE 235 7749 2101
NN 7749 2101 (centre) An evaluation was undertaken in April 2005 on a proposed housing development. Aerial photographs had recorded a linear cropmark and a circular cropmark within the development area, which lies between the Roman forts to the N and the Roman temporary camp to the S.
Five trenches were excavated. No trace was found of the circular cropmark, but the linear cropmark, possibly a drain or boundary, was traced in three trenches. A previously unknown cut feature, possibly the corner of a ditch, with associated rampart partially slumped into the ditch, was recorded in two trenches at the northern end of the site. They may represent the rampart and ditch of an annexe to the larger Roman fort, which is situated on the N side of Braco Road.
