About This Book

The author offers a popular guide to archaeological excavations of a Roman town near Shrewsbury, explaining how the site was uncovered and how its streets, walls, and buildings have been traced. Detailed descriptions cover architectural features such as hypocausts, tile and flag roofs, carved stone fragments, pottery, metal objects, and human remains, many of which are deposited in a local museum. Practical directions for visitors, notes on access and accommodations, plates and plans of discoveries, and acknowledgments of patrons who enabled the work complete the account, while observations on soil, landscape, and the town’s ancient place-name provide local and historical context.
