Abstract:		 An evaluation excavation was undertaken in area of high archaeological potential. No remains pre-dating the Roman period were known to survive within the site, but remains of Roman and medieval occupation were known. The evaluation proved conclusively that remains of archaeological significance survived at the site. Although no evidence of the Roman road of Watling Street was uncovered, occupation dating to the Roman period was positively identified in the form of clay quarries and associated features. The discovery of Anglo-Saxon remains was of particular importance. Whilst Roman activity was already known from the area, nothing was known of Anglo-Saxon occupation within the area. This evidence was therefore highly significant in that it provided new evidence for settlement within that extramural part of the city. Early medieval occupation was also attested: three features yielded 11th/12th century pottery. [AIP]
