Recording and limited excavation were carried out on and around the town wall at 11 Short Wyre Street during redevelopment for a new Swag Shop premises. The Roman internal wall facing and base offset were well preserved, and in the centre of this length was a Roman tile-built arched drain. <1> A large part of the inner face of the Roman town wall was recorded in 1988 during redevelopment works. The wall had formed the south side of a cellar, and it was fully exposed following the demolition of the standing building. Of note was the discovery in the wall of the remains of a drain arch. In addition to the recording of the wall, two trenches for stanchions were archaeologically excavated in advance into the rampart behind the wall, and parts of the late medieval refacing of the south side of the wall were subsequently noted in the contractor’s foundation trenches south of the wall. <2>
