Abstract:		 A backfilled trench from a previous excavation was manually emptied and surviving masonry remains were cleaned and recorded. Other areas possibly affected by the redevelopment were similarly investigated. A significant part of the Flavian turf rampart was shown to survive below foundations of the medieval city wall. A probable construction trench for the rear corner of the south-east angle tower strongly suggested that it was a later insertion, proving an earlier interpretation to be false. It was likely to be of early Trajanic date. The alignment of a Roman wall and its association with the angle tower was thought to date it and the tower to the first reconstruction phase of the defensive circuit, facing and strengthening the Flavian rampart.
