Abstract:		 <summary>Evaluation showed that the Infirmary buildings had destroyed most of the archaeological deposits. Around the edges, several Roman gullies - probably drainage or boundary features - survived. The tail and bank against the rear of the northern City Wall could possibly have originated in the Saxon period. Over most of the site, a medieval soil layer confirmed that most of this area was cultivated during the Middle Ages. Traces of a building along the east edge of the site may relate to a tithe barn of St Werburgh's Abbey which is known to have lain in this area. The most significant post-medieval feature was a pit containing a large quantity of mid 17th century tobacco pipe kiln waste. {italon}Sec(abr)(19b){italoff}
