| Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken in advance of the sinking of new foundations for the residential refurbishment of the present building on the site. Much of the present modern building had truncated the archaeology completely and work was limited to the central courtyard at the base of a ramp leading down from an alley running between Prescot Street and Chamber Street. The site was located within the area of the Roman eastern cemetery. Observations during the construction of the present building (in the 1930's) recorded 12 inhumations on the site. No burials or cut features were observed during the watching brief however it was felt still possible that cut features, such as burials, pits and wells could have survived, cutting the gravel beneath the modern truncation level.
