Abstract:		 The excavation found evidence for Roman activity, in the form of levelling layer and possible post built buildings, and Anglo-Scandinavian occupation, represented by a single beam slot. More intensive activity commenced after the Norman Conquest, when the site was used predominantly for the disposal of domestic refuse with numerous pits. A degree of spatial organisation was also evident with ditch boundaries being created. A large number of stake holes were recorded indicating that lightweight structures were erected on the site. During the later medieval period a massive ditch had been dug, approximately perpendicular to the adjacent city walls, which appeared to form a temporary addition to the defences. Throughout the post-medieval period the site reverted to open ground, finally being developed in the 19th century. [Au(abr)]
