Title: A0732 14-20 Blossom Street
Alternative Title: 1991.11 14-20 Blossom Street
Description: A series of five trenches and seventeen boreholes revealed the different character and depth of archaeological levels across this large site. Close to Blossom street the islands of archaeology which survive between cellars consisted of complex deposits of Roman date sealed beneath dumped material of the 11th/12th century, above which were pits and pit fills of later medieval date. At the side of the standing buildings a surface of cobbles and pebbles was identified as a road, although it did not compare well with that excavated by L. P. Wenham in the property next door. To the rear of the building a significant depth of cultivated soil graded gradually from the 19th century to Roman in date.
