Description

Archaeological evaluation was undertaken on land alongside the Salter's Way, Saltersford in response to a proposal for widening of the salter's Way access road, leading from the Great North Road to Saltersford Water Treatment Works. It was anticipated that the area could fall within a zone of Romano-British settlement. The development would have affected related archaeological deposits and, in consequence, fifteen trenches were excavated to test for their presence and survival. Each of the fifteen trenches were 2m by 1m in extent, spaced at intervals of approximately 30m {1} {2}
