Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	An excavation was carried out by ULAS on land adjacent to the former Corella Works (Richard Roberts (Holdings) Limited), south of Sanvey Gate, between Burgess Street and St. Margaret's Way. This work was in advance of a proposed housing development scheme and was carried out for Thomas Fish and Sons Ltd. Excavations took place between July 2004 and March 2005. Evidence for the former Roman and medieval defences was found including the town ditches, the partially robbed out town wall, and the town rampart. A large fragment of the original town wall was also exposed during groundworks. Within the town defences a substantial Roman stone building was exposed, and a series of yard surfaces running towards an east-west street associated with another substantial wall and ditch feature, which backed the defences. The street linked in to a significant north-south road that is on the line of one seen at Causeway Lane and further south at Little Lane. Earlier activity in the form of ditches, pits and gullies, and evidence for timber structures was also exposed, and later evidence included stratified Saxon pottery, a single inhumation, and medieval pitting, wells and robbing of the Roman structures. The site archive will be held by LCMS, accession number A21.2003.
