Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Excavations at East Stockwell Street and St John's Street produced evidence of Roman building. At East Stockwell Street early Roman occupation was observed in section beneath excavated levels, principally a wall of early colonial date. In the mid-second century the levels of the site were raised to create a level platform for a large public building of uncertain purpose. The foundations of this building were extensively robbed during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries and the area of the site was terraced in the seventeenth century removing the floor levels of the Roman buildings over the northern half of the site and post-Roman occupation over the southern area. St John's Street yielded an early road leading to the south-west entrance of the colonia with probable roadside occupation. In the late-first to early-second century, this road went out of use and a large quantity of make-up was deposited over the area. This formed a construction platform on a slope for a public building the north wall of which was located. This building was demolished and its foundations robbed in the later Roman period. No late Roman or post-Roman levels survived on the site. | |||||||||
