Title:A Middle Iron Age and Roman Site at Aller Cross, Kingskerswell (Nr Torquay)
Originator:Hearne, C. M. + Seager Smith, R.
Date:1993
Summary:An archaeological evaluation on the route of the proposed Kingskerswell bypass was prompted by the recovery of Roman pottery from a geotechnical test pit. The evaluation revealed a large ditch (1529) aligned north-west to south-east, 3.0-5.0 metres wide, was traced for about 40 metres. This contained roman pottery, imbrex roof tiles and carbonised grain of wheat, oats and barley. Other ditch features also contained Roman material.
