Find Spot record 8088/25 - Roman finds from Hamilton Place

Please read our .

Summary

A small amount of Roman building material mainly comprising fragments of roof tile was recovered during archaeological investigations at Hamilton Place. The material was recovered from later post medieval features. Residual finds usually occur as a result of soil disturbance when the cutting of one feature removes finds from a lower and therefore earlier layer and re-deposits them closer to the surface.

Full Description

Small assemblage of Roman ceramic building material recovered as residual finds from later deposits. Finds including Roman tegulae and imbrices. (1)

Although recorded from a post Roman deposit at the base of the trench, a dark greyish brown layer of clayey sand was noted but not investigated below this point (at a depth of 1.80m below ground level) and may represent undisturbed Roman archaeology (1)
