Abstract:		 Archaeological features exposed by groundworks included a ditch and several pits, were dated to the Roman period. Other features were of post-medieval date, or were undated. Ceramic building material and structural stone was present in sufficient quantities to suggest the presence nearby of a fairly substantial Roman structure, subsequently demolished. Pottery suggested occupation became more intensive in the later Roman period. The evidence from the site, and from recent observations near St Denys Church (SOU 794 & 807), indicated the possible existence of a Roman settlement on the west bank of the River Itchen, opposite the known town site at Bitterne Manor, and possibly associated with a ford or crossing point. The discovery of Roman pottery in association with timber posts in the river mud between the two sites, at SOU 881, indicated a possible site for this. [Au(adp)]
