A single evaluation trench was excavated across the footprint of a proposed new art block building, 5m long x 1.8m wide. The trench was excavated to natural subsoil, c.0.9m deep. One linear feature (F1) was identified, probably a Roman boundary ditch. The pottery that has been recovered from the evaluation trench is all Roman and ranges from the 1st to 3rd centuries AD. The nature of the pottery and the concentration of Roman material, combined with the lack of any other pottery from earlier or later periods, indicate that F1 is likely to be of at least Roman date. However, due to the amount of animal or plant-root activity which is present in F1, it is possible that the pottery may have been brought in from elsewhere by the burrowing activities of animals and the disturbance caused by plant roots.<1>
