Description
Wheeler and Laver record a drain arch, 'At N.E. corner of Maidenburgh Street adjoining the site of North wall of the town, The south wall of the cellar of the house incorporates a piece of Roman brick walling containing an arch, now blocked. The wall and arch are now buried below the springing of the latter, but the wall is still visible to a height of 6ft and a similar breadth from E to W. The work is good and probably not later than the second century AD.' <1><2>
