Abstract:		 Cleaning and recording of an undated piece of wall was undertaken and the excavation of two test-pits was monitored, at a site which lay immediately to the east of the present College of Arms. The pits were excavated to establish the level of the cellar floor and any surviving archaeological horizons, in connection with future planning applications for a library development. The length of wall had been identified during an earlier desk-based assessment, which had also noted the presence of numerous archaeological sites in the vicinity. The College of Arms site had considerable potential for the recovery of data relating to the Roman period; site investigation had suggested that it may have contained the (much damaged) remains of a Roman wall. The site also lay close to a road which may have been the main east-west street of the late Saxon intramural settlement. During the evaluation, no archaeological horizons were identified within the test-pits, and no accurate date could be obtained for the wall. The surviving stonework appeared to have followed the alignment of existing Roman walling within the area of St. Peter's Hill. However, the stratigraphy associated with the wall had been completely truncated by post-medieval walling, and no pre-modern finds were present. [AIP]
