Abstract:		 Excavations in advance of development followed an initial evaluation of the site. Two phases of excavation were undertaken. Excavation of an area close to the street frontage revealed that cellaring had not destroyed all the stratigraphy, and up to 0.3 metres of largely waterlogged deposits survived above natural river gravels. Roman pottery was recovered and features including gullies, a row of post holes and parallel rows of wooden posts were uncovered. The second phase of excavation, located in an area that would have formerly been the back gardens of the properties fronting onto the street, revealed plough marks, indicating agricultural activity, sealed by layers containing Roman pottery. A ring ditch, either associated with a Roman cremation found to the south-east or representing the remains of a structure, was identified. Deposits indicating post-Roman flooding below the floor of a medieval building of possible 11th century date, dumped domestic deposits of the same approximate period, cess-pits, and at least three further outbuildings were also revealed.
