Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at the Regal Cinema Site. A previous desk-based archaeological assessment highlighted the archaeological importance of the site, which lay within the notification area of a Scheduled Ancient Monument. The study area was known to overlie parts of INSULAE I and XIV / XV of CORINIUM, separated by an inter-insulae street. The western half of the site was situated over part of the Roman forum, with the area to its east encompassing a section of the adjacent streetside frontage. Trial-trenching revealed well-preserved late Roman deposits across the study area. The evaluation firmly located the outer wall of the north-eastern range of the forum, confirmed the position of the conjectured inter-insulae street and identified high-quality building remains alongside its eastern frontage. Some medieval and later disturbance to late and immediately post-Roman levels was noted, reflecting episodes of stone-robbing and garden activity. [Au(adp)] |
