Description
Monitoring of the excavation of a 157m long cable trench along the southern boundary of the SAM recorded possible early features. Accession no: 1999.59. The trench was 60cm deep and 30cm wide. Six features were observed within the confines of the trench: one was post-medieval and three were ditches or pits of indeterminate but possibly early date. The remaining features were of questionable archaeological significance. A small quantity of Roman pottery was recovered from the subsoil.
