Abstract:		 The geotechnical investigation involved the excavation of eight trial pits within the currently occupied seven story commercial buildings to determine depths of footings, soil conditions and archaeological survival below the existing full basement and partial sub-basement floors. Of the eight trial pits three were placed specifically to investigate the archaeological potential of the site (TP3, TP5 and TP6). Despite restricted widths of the trial pits, the potential for survival of ancient ground surfaces (horizontal archaeological stratification) on site was observed during the excavation of Trial Pits 5 and 6. Whilst dating evidence was not recovered from these deposits, their Ordnance Datum heights were consistent with a Roman date. As well as establishing positive evidence of cut features (TP5), both trial pits identified natural deposits consisting of loose pale yellow sandy gravel (TP5) and soft reddish brown coarse sandy clay (TP6).
