- Description
- Foundation trenches within the basement of this building close to the south-east gate of the Roman fortress were excavated. A sequence of pits and dumps from the 12th to the 16th century were excavated. The lowest features were cut into a series of clay dumps from which only Roman pottery was retrieved. This may have been the top of the Roman rampart but the small size of the excavation precluded definitive identification.
