Hello
Sounds familiar.
If the area was identified on the Local Plan as having the potential for Roman deposits then why was the developer allowed to break the ground? That should be considered in the planning consent and works should stop until the planners have been informed of the situation and any likely breach of their forthcoming planning conditions.
I would probably also give the regional statutory archaeologist a call (EH / HS / Cadw / EHS) to see how their spines are holding up.
Naturally, the archaeology should be discussed in the context of its local, regional and national significance and decisions should based on that merit.
