Description: Several phases of Roman occupation of this river bank site comprised two successive timber structures dated to the late 1st-early 2nd century, and slight traces of other, later structures. The area was replanned in the mid 3rd century with the introduction of a road with gutter which ran parallel to the river. This remained in use until at least the late 4th century. There was also a medieval wall on the crest of the river terrace and evidence of post-medieval land reclamation from the river, including the construction of a slipway or river wall and watergate. A sequence of 17th-18th century structural remains was located.
