Abstract:		 A total of 9 trenches were excavated on the site which an earlier desk-based assessment had suggested may have incorporated a Romano-British suburb and cemetery as well as a medieval suburb and two former watercourses. During excavation a possible marsh, a medieval road and a post-medeival yard were identifed. The medieval road ran towards a nearby deserted medieval village. Dump deposits of cess and domestic refuse, ditches, pits and a mortar mixing pit were also discovered, suggesting medieval activity to the rear of a burgage plot. Evidence of Romano-British activity was suggested by the occurence of a large percentage of residual pottery in later contexts. The two watercourses had been backfilled with debris from the demolition of 19th century buildings. [Au (adp)]
