Romano-British Settlement, Westbury Ironworks

Summary

Romano-British settlement

Description

Settlement site discovered during ore digging 1877-82. Site poorly recorded. Finds include pottery, samian ware, coins and brooches ranging from 1st-4th centuries, querns, loom weights and a skeleton. See also unlocated finds made in 1988 - ST85SWU06. An Archaeological evaluation in 2000 illustrated that the entire eastern half, along with parts of the southern and western half of the area thought to contain remains of the Roman settlement have been entirely archaeologically sterilized by past quarrying and railway workings. The central and northern area appear to be partly undisturbed, although there is a deep localized disturbance in the area of Trench 2 of the evaluation. There were 170 found in 1877-1882. NOTE: This 'record' of archaeology being sterilized by quarrying does not appear to be accurate. The evaluation referred to above was on one side of the railway and not fully representative of the entire settlement site as proposed. Furthermore, see also ST85SE322 as a possible location for this settlement site. DV
