Abstract:		 Natural Terrace Gravel was recorded at the base of the sequence and was overlain by material that may have been a possible buried soil horizon of early Roman date. Large pits suggest that parts of the site may have been quarried for brickearth extraction during the Roman period but subsequently there was possibly domestic occupation with cess pits and possible timber structures being present. A notable element of the Roman artefactual assemblage was a quantity of material suggesting that glass-working had taken place on or in the near vicinity of the site utilising crucibles. The late and/or post-Roman period was dominated by the accumulation of an extensive 'dark earth' deposit, similar to material dated as Anglo-Saxon at nearby sites but here lacking such dating evidence. The site was not significantly re-occupied until the years immediately following the Norman Conquest; activity being represented by two apparent cess pits located towards the western edge of excavation. These features are likely to have been located in yard areas to the rear of properties fronting onto a forerunner of modern Bury Street and may provide evidence of an early street layout in the 12th century. There was little evidence of later medieval occupation, mainly because later deposits were extensively truncated by construction of the current basement. However, there was clearly activity in the early post-medieval period, represented by a chalk block-lined well of likely 16th-century date, which also lay in a yard area to the rear of Bury Street properties. Final backfilling of the well probably took place in the 18th century, the last phase of activity detected archaeologically, prior to the construction of the basement.
