Abstract:		 The excavation revealed significant archaeological evidence, consisting of a Roman street, along with at least two large Roman buildings, one on the north of the street contained two rooms with remarkably well preserved opus signinum floors and painted quarter round mouldings. Another Roman building to the south of the street contained a sunken-floored room, perhaps evidence for a hypocaust room. Medieval evidence consisted largely of garden soils and backyard pits. Elsewhere Victorian brick cellars removed most of the street frontage remains, with the exception of some stone walls behind the brick walls in places.
