Summary: | An archaeological trench evaluation was undertaken at The Barton in support of a planning application for a new agricultural building, close to the railway. The site lies within a complex of Romano British military enclosures which are a scheduled monument.
The investigations comprised three trenches, 1.6m wide, totalling 40m in length. No archaeological features or artefacts were recorded in Trench 1 or 2. In Trench 3, only modern disturbance associated with the adjacent railway viaduct was encountered. No evidence for Romano British activity was found. |
