Monument record 1080/0/38 - Centurion Way

Please read our .

Summary

An evaluation took place in 1992 on land off Centurion Way. 15 trenches were dug but produced no deposits of archaeological significance. A further evaluation in 2001 of these 15 trenches revealed in-filled ditches probably representing the lines of field boundaries, consistent with peripheral settlement and activity. The remains of a probable Romano-British brine kiln were identified in trench 7. The archaeological remains were distributed widely across the site, but were more intense in the northern part.
