A scheme of archaeological monitoring was conducted during the excavation of a trench for a new electrical cable running along part of the route of Ermine Street, through the village of Ancaster. Roman and post-Roman deposits were recorded, along with the remains of possible Roman structures and two infant burials. A large assemblage of Roman material was recovered, including samian ware and amphora fragments, along with a smaller assemblage of medieval material. {1}{2}
