This third contribution to the research on the western edge of the Roman city of Carnuntum focuses on two aspects. First, the geophysical measurements, in particular the ground penetrating radar surveys of the years 2012–2015, are evaluated in detail, focusing on the overall architectural structure of the western suburb, but also on the individual building types represented in the area. The geophysical measurement data are contrasted with the results of a rescue excavation that was carried out directly north of the prospected areas as early as 1976. The finds from these excavations, including graves from the end of the 3rd century or from the time around 300 AD, are presented here for the first time. This also allows the basic chronological framework of the western suburb, which was developed in the two previously published articles, to be further consolidated.
