Abstract:		 The watching brief was undertaken during ground disturbance works in relation to refurbishment works within the Grosvenor Centre. Archaeological deposits of Roman date were observed in the north-west corner of the site, within lift shaft 1, consisting of a pit and layers associated with rampart buildings. The pit may have served as a post setting before being used as a refuse pit, from which animal bone and pottery was recovered. Remains of the Roman fortress wall were also uncovered at the centre of the site, adjacent to the location of an access ramp, which was being removed as part of the refurbishment works. The section of wall exposed was fully archaeologically excavated and recorded and a sample of mortar retained for analysis, which demonstrated that all of the mortar constituents were of local origin.
