Abstract:		 Between the November 2003 and February 2004, an archaeological evaluation was carried out by ULAS for Hammerson UK Properties plc, on site14A Elbow Lane. Although parts of the site had been disturbed by former structures of the 19th and 20th centuries, fieldwork revealed evidence of archaeological deposits of Roman, medieval and post-medieval date. Good survival of probable Roman deposits was found during the course of the evaluation with evidence for a depth of stratified, probably horizontal, Roman deposits. These appear as possible floor foundations and floor resurfacing. Although these have been truncated horizontally and by later pitting to the east, it is possible that Roman building remains could survive to the west within this area of the former carpark. The area was truncated prior to the commencement of the accumulation of garden soil when the area was given over to cultivation, resulting in a depth of garden soil. This appears to be well mixed. Some medieval / post -medieval pitting is evident to the east, truncating lower deposits and suggesting possible medieval backyard activity or quarrying. There are signs of possible structural remains in the form of postholes within these fills. Post medieval remains of cellar walls, wall and building foundations and modern services associated with elbow lane frontage were seen to the west, north and south.
