Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	The investigations at the former H Smith Yard consisted of a primary evaluation conducted between 4th and 17th May 2005, a secondary evaluation conducted between 19th and 28th June 2006 and a phase of archaeological mitigation, including excavation, 'enhanced observation and recording' and watching briefs, conducted between 15th September and 15th November 2006. A third and fourth phase of evaluation were conducted within Bellefield Road itself between 6th and 14th November 2006 and between 30th March and 17th April 2007. The evaluations were followed by a watching brief conducted sporadically throughout the autumn of 2007. With the exception of a Bronze Age tree throw, located within the former H Smith Yard, evidence for prehistoric activity on site was limited. Evidence of Roman occupation was found across the former H Smith Yard, possibly relating to industrial activity, and within the confines of Bellefield Road itself the back foundation wall of the scheduled Roman Bathhouse was revealed. Four graves of Saxon date were recorded during the investigations conducted within Bellefield Road.
