Description
Rodwell notes "the uppermost layers against the south side of the building were destroyed by construction of an open drain in the 19th century. The digging of this drain revealed a foundation offset, capped by two courses of Roman brick, a feature which in this district is often characteristic of Anglo-Saxon building construction'.<1> Rodwell's source of information is not known.
