Abstract:		 An excavation was carried out between two areas previously investigated, in advance of redevelopment. The proposal site lay within an area where evidence of Roman, medieval and post-medieval occupation had been recorded; Bronze Age activity was also known to have occurred in the vicinity. During the excavation, a major flood horizon of grey silt which had separated periods of Romano-British activity was found. A few occupation surfaces were recorded close to the High Street, but a number of refuse pits and a series of linear features provided the main evidence. Post-inundation activity reflected a resumption of the use of back-plots, allied to the re-establishment of a boundary. Subsequent reclamation/extension onto the flood plain had increased the area available to the 3rd/4th century settlement. In contrast to an area which had been excavated to the north, in Zone 1b, few medieval features were noted. A re-cut ditch and a large pit were of medieval date, and four undated post-holes were provisionally assigned to this period. Artefacts recovered included small amounts of Late Bronze Age, Iron Age, medieval and post-medieval pottery and a large number of Romano-British sherds. Pile cap locations excavated to the west of Norris Road revealed similar stratigraphy to the main excavation. Further excavation in advance of development at the Central Trading Estate was anticipated. [Au(adp)]
