Houses in Roman Cirencester

Author: Alan McWhirr

The third volume in the Cirencester Excavations series is devoted to excavations that have produced evidence for Roman town houses in Corinium. Excavations at Beeches Road between 1970 and 1973 revealed town buildings constructed in the 4th century AD. The Department of the Environment (now Historic England) requested that the excavation conducted by Miss Mary Rennie in Cirencester in 1958 be included in this volume. A review of other excavations previously carried out by the Cirencester Excavation Committee, which had produced evidence for similar buildings, was undertaken and these are presented in a gazetteer.
