Description
At approximately 3.70m below ground surface a timber-lined sewer was observed. Between 3.80m and 5.70m below ground surface the associated culvert or drain was located; it was lined with a layer of floor tiles and thought to be of Roman date. It was aligned north-west/south-east, orientated along the line of the Roman buildings located on the opposite side of Micklegate. The drain, 0.70m wide and c. 0.90m high, appeared to have been backfilled in the Roman period.
