Abstract:		 The north-east end of the site was found to have been disturbed down into the natural matrix, probably during construction of the railway embankment in 1859-61. Elsewhere a disturbed cultivation soil was recorded, up to 0.95m deep, across the rest of the site. The small quantity of medieval sherds recovered may be indicative of manuring of agricultural fields in the period, which would be expected given the proximity of the site outside the city walls. A narrow irregular linear feature along the frontage, dated to the 18th-19th centuries, may represent a field boundary ditch or a hedge line or be associated with the laying out of the road system in the 1870s. Two pits toward the south-west end of the site were dated to the late 19th-20th centuries and represented rubbish pits or tree bowls associated with the later garden to the rear of Sansome House. No archaeological features, structures or horizons were observed below the relict soils, nor finds predating the medieval period recovered. It is therefore considered that intensive Roman activity did not extend into this area.
