Three trial trenches (two 20m long trenches each 1.5m wide and one small test-pit) were excavated at the Garrison sports ground, following an inconclusive geophysical survey (ECC2487), revealing a Roman cremation and two medieval or post-medieval features. <1> The cremation is dated to the late Roman period (by the flagon neck in the fill of the pot rather than the cremation pot itself). The level at which archaeologically significant deposits were found was only 350mm below modern ground-level, although there was reason to believe that in other areas it may have been as little as 200mm.
