The Lawe, Roman occupational evidence

During a watching brief in 2015 on Roman Road, The Lawe, multiple phases of Roman occupation were encountered. The earliest phase was characterised by a NE-SW orientated boundary containing occupational debris, drainage ditch and yard/path surface dating to the late 1st - early 2nd century. Surfaces, coupled with a boundary ditch and wall were encountered dating to the 3rd century - attesting to increased activity within the Vicus. The pottery assemblage recovered during the watching brief derived from locations across the south of England, France and Italy.
