Description
Part of a limestone wall with clay and cobble foundations was observed at a depth of 2.90m below ground surface in a contractor's trench. It dated to the Roman period. Above this structure demolition deposits were recorded. Organic material probably representing Anglo-Scandinavian or medieval activity was observed.



Modern service trench backfill was observed to a depth of 1.40m below ground surface at which point a cobble surface was seen. This may represent an earlier, possibly medieval, road surface.
