Abstract:		 Two trenches were excavated to try and determine the location of a Victorian brick sewer. Both trenches measures 3m by 1m. Trench 1 went to a depth of 5m however did not encounter the Victorian sewer. Trench 2 was opened in an attempt to locate the sewer with the sewer encountered at approximately 4.5m. The excavations were carried out with a mechanical excavator under the supervision of an archaeologist. At a depth of 1.5 to 2m metal shoring was introduced to support trench walls with any encountered archaeological surfaces examined and recorded. Paleoenvironmental samples were taken from appropriate deposits for assessment. Both trenches showed a clear stratified sequence of deposits and road surfaces from the Roman period through to the post-medieval period. The Victorian sewer was located at the a depth of 4.5m in trench 2 with approximately 2.5m of sand and gravel overlain it. The earliest deposit was a Roman road comprising of a foundation of large cobbles overlain by a compacted metalled surface of gravel in red clay. A single Roman 'antoninianus' coin from the Gallic Empire (AD 259-273) as well as Roman pottery were found in residual medieval and modern contexts.
