Abstract:		 Excavations were carried out in advance of the construction of the basement of a large shopping centre and an associated access road, uncovering extensive archaeological remains. The main phase of occupation dated from the late Saxon period, and consisted of at least two timber structures, and of large rubbish pits. This phase had been sealed by a medieval and post-medieval agricultural soil. Medieval and post-medieval features were scant, but included three probable late medieval pits, a medieval ditch interpreted as a boundary between tenements, and post-holes for structures associated with the development of Spa Road from about 1800 onwards. The build-up of agricultural soil had protected most of the earlier occupation evidence from damage by these structures. A scatter of worked flint and at least three Bronze Age pots were found, and residual Roman building material was present in late Saxon pits. Saxon finds included an 8th century coin, pottery and an equal-arm brooch of middle or late Saxon date. Medieval and post-medieval pottery was also recovered. [Au(adp)]
