Abstract: |
Two trial trenches, both 1.5m wide, (Trench One was 5.4m long and Trench Two was 5.7m in length) were excavated in the car park. The earliest features recorded were a gravel surface, possibly a yard, and demolition debris from a Roman building. Four foundations, 2.2m in width. of a large, possibly two storey building, were recorded, constructed over this demolition layer. Evidence of the high status of these buildings was provided by tile roof fragments, heating systems and painted walls. This later building was probably demolished in the 3/4th centuries. Post-medieval evidence suggested a backyard use for the site. [Au(adp)] |
