Description
Three phases of rescue excavation on the site of the former Vineyard Press car park and building. The excavations revealed early Roman occupation in section, principally a wall of early colonial date, and the remains of a level platform for a large public building from the mid 2nd century. In the late 12th to early 13th building the foundations of this building were extensively robbed. In the 17th century the area was terraced, removing the floor levels of the building over the northern half of the site and post Roman occupation over the southern area.<1><2>
