Abstract:		 The excavations uncovered a large number of features dating to Exeter's Roman military period (c. AD55-75). The principal structure was a large building comprising an aisled hall, surrounded by small rooms and corridors, and a courtyard. This was constructed in the post-trench technique associated with Roman army buildings. Its plan is indicative of a large domestic building, and it is provisionally interpreted as a praetorium, although the exact function, whether as a military headquarters building or perhaps as an accommodation building for officials and couriers, is unknown. After this building went out of use a cremation burial was placed next to two of its walls. This is also of 1st-century AD date, and the finds assemblage from the burial is very similar to those found at Holloway Street. Later Roman features, of 2nd- and 3rd-century AD date, were also found, but no associated buildings were located. However, a single mausoleum structure was exposed. Medieval and post-medieval features were almost exclusively confined to boundary ditches and gullies, although several postholes, possibly associated with post-medieval cloth drying, were excavated. The ditches were mostly aligned downhill and parallel to St David's Hill.
