Full Description
PRN 25065
Roman deposits were revealed during trial trenching (Trench 3) and open area excavation (WPB1 01) in the southwest of Weston village during investigation of the Weston Bypass in 2001 to 2003. The deposits included ditches dating from the 1st to 2nd, 2nd to 3rd and 4th centuries, a creek with fills dating from the 2nd to 3rd century and a pit containing 3rd to 4th century domestic waste. A large amount of Roman pottery was recovered from the site along with charcoal, fired clay and shell.
The excavations on the site revealed a pastoral and cereal based economy of 2nd to 4th century field systems. The pottery recovered was typical table and cookwares. However, the fairly large volume of imported finewares suggests that Roman Weston was of moderately high status. {1}{2}
