- Description
-
Natural was recorded at 4.50m below ground surface, c.11.75m OD. A 0.40m deposit of compact gravel was interpreted as the make-up of the Via Principalis. Immediately above it was a dumped deposit including limestone and tile. At a higher level large limestone blocks and some Millstone Grit blocks were encountered and interpreted as a late Roman re-laying of the Via Principalis.
Layers of build-up and dumped material were found above the road surface.
Approximately 1m below ground surface cobbled surfaces were recorded, and probably represent successive medieval street surfaces. - Type
