Abstract:		 indications are that the earliest activity may date to c.50-75 AD rather than later. In the 2nd century, the alignment was maintained with a north-south street and boundary ditches, with buildings were constructed either side in what became insulae V and VI. The westernmost was stone-founded a chance fragmentary survival of clay-walled construction. mid 2nd century street metalled and roadside walls. The initial defences of earth and timber survived. later town wall and interval tower, the latter unique. perhaps actually demarcating the defences was a series of features . East of the street, in the adjacent insula VI, a large stone building of high status was built. The defences probably had the interval tower added in the 4th century and the outer town ditch was recut. Several timber structures of early Saxon date, the first from within the town walls. Medieval period:defences being reworked, the inner ditch being recut, robbing of town wall and other . large stretch of the town wall retained. a single burial was placedLater medieval and post-medieval activity on the Sanvey Gate frontage
