Description
An archaeological watching brief was maintained in 2004 during the excavation of seven test pits located at intervals along an approximate 5 km stretch of the course of the A530/B5309, which follows the line of the Roman road King Street. The test pits were dug to determine the state of the current carriageway and there were hopes that traces of the Roman surface might survive beneath the modern road. In all cases modern make up was seen to overlie natural deposits and no evidence for the survival of Roman road fabric was detected. (1)
