Title: roman floor reburied Post by: mickycoin "mick" on March 27, 2009, 11:37:42 AM hi just wondered when builders e.t.c uncover old buildings, floors etc by misstake while digging out ground work for a new building or similar. is there a law to stop them filling it back in?? and , or just carry on and bury it with new work. i know of one instance were a roman floor was exsposed by a j.c.b. digging out footings for an exstension to a house near lougher s wales, were there was an old roman villa or fort not sure less than 100 meters from it. the extension was cancelled and site refilled, no more was ever said about it" right or wrong"??

If they reported it these may have been the options they were given and probably thought it wasn't worth the cost.

Unfortunate,but it`s the world we live in! Title: Re: roman floor reburied Post by: Tafflaff (Rob) on May 06, 2009, 06:21:05 PM I think a lot of builders would keep on with the job , with one eye closed!
