Abstract:		 An evaluation was undertaken in order to establish the extent and nature of the survival of the Roman and medieval City wall which ran through the yard. A 6m stretch of the wall was targeted in order to assess the possibilities for future display within a proposed new basement. Modern brick and concrete rubble was encountered which formed the backfill of a brick walled structure with a stone flagged floor. Documentary evidence indicated that this structure could only be part of a substantial ventilation channel leading from beneath the centre of the Sessions House to an airshaft at the rear, which was present by 1890. A localised sondage beneath the floor of the ventilation channel revealed a glazed, ceramic sewer pipe and a small area of apparently in situ archaeology. This latter comprised ragstone cobbles in sticky, grey-green silt and may have represented part of the foundation for the Roman City wall. It appeared that the ventilation channel had removed all traces of the superstructure of the wall, though some of the Roman make-up deposits and foundations for the wall survived where not disturbed by drains and sewerage. The available plans, in conjunction with the alignment of the Victorian brick walls, suggested that this level of truncation would unfortunately apply to the whole of the 6m stretch intended for display.
