Abstract:		 Located close the historic city centre, the PDA is situated between known areas of intensive archaeological activity spanning the Prehistoric to Post-Medieval periods. During the trench-based evaluation phase, which consisted of four 5m by 5m trenches, well-preserved, deeply-stratified archaeological sequences were encountered, containing remains spanning the Late Prehistoric to Modern periods in date. In particular, a significant Romano-British component was identified, indicative of occupation associated with the southern suburb of the Roman town. The level of activity appears to have declined during the succeeding Medieval and Post-Medieval periods - possibly in association with the establishment of the King's Ditch, which may partially extend into the PDA - but escalated again sharply during the first three decades of the 19th century when extensive urban development took place. Clusters of tenements and associated commercial premises were constructed at this time along long narrow yards, all of which were demolished in 1962/3 to make way for the construction of the Park Street multi-storey car park itself.
