pipe. The pillars were dug into a yellow
clayey layer mixed with white lime spots.
The exterior wall of the aqueduct was
built of stone, the interior one of tegulae.
Two bricks preserved the lunula and
planta pedis-shaped stamps of the legio
II Adiurix PF. The aqueduct was fi lled in
around the middle of the AD 2 nd century
or a bit after. After the abandonment of
the later channel, there seems to have
been another clay slide from the hill.
The hearths or ovens built of clay and
reinforced with stone evidence the later
utilisation of the territory. A large number
of animal bones and iron nails were
found in the environment of the hearths
although no datable fi nds have been recovered,
thus, their date is uncertain. West of
the smaller fi re place, the wall of which
burnt red, we documented a levelling layer
of stones and bricks. The two, probably Roman,
features (the fi re place and debris)
extended towards the south but we had no
opportunity to completely unearth them.
In the case of the large angled fi re place, a
dating from the Middle Ages or the early
modern period is also possible.
The fi re places were covered with a
yellow clay layer coming from two more
clay slides. Between the layers, a moister
climatic period could be documented,
which favoured the development of vegetation.
We have no information to date
this clay layer since the upper layers were
removed at the start of the construction
work. The modern humus layer appeared
on top of the second clayey layer.
