| Text | A watching brief by C. North and S. Turner recorded a large E.-W. aligned linear feature which was been interpreted as the City Ditch. The Roman ditch appears to have been cut by the later medieval ditch and by medieval cesspits and wattle-lined wells. The fills of the medieval ditch suggest two prolonged periods of natural silting, the second of which was of sufficient duration for trees to grow and a wattle hurdle to be constructed on the N. edge. |
