Abstract:		 Archaeological watching brief during ground-works associated with the installation of the new sewer facility. The excavation of the pipe trench revealed a high level of disturbance and truncation through post-medieval and modern activity, however a few 'islands' of stratified archaeological deposits were encountered. Features and/or deposits of Roman, and possible Saxon or medieval date were encountered, though dating evidence was limited. No evidence for prehistoric activity was found, and the natural geology was not exposed. Beneath the modern and post-medieval deposits and disturbance lay widespread dumps of consolidated demolition and/or collapse material, most likely of Roman date. The most significant archaeological features comprised the remains of a complex of Roman buildings, represented by a handful of truncated walls, foundations, and possible floor surfaces. These buildings almost certainly fronted the Roman 'High Street', and are likely to be related to the Roman remains discovered in previous investigations nearby. Evidence for later activity included the remains of possible metalled surfaces that appear to represent street surfaces. Though these were not conclusively dated, their location within the archaeological sequence suggests a late Roman or later date. Very few artefacts were recovered, mainly due to the nature of the investigation.
