An archaeological watching brief was carried out along the road line of Culver Street West during trenching for the installation of a new gas pipeline. The width of the trench was 500mm. The depth of the trench ranged mainly from 550mm to 850mm with some stretches reaching a depth of 1.2m. Most of the route of the trench proved to be cut through ground which had already been disturbed by earlier service trenches. However, there were some significant discoveries. Two Roman foundations were un-robbed, thus suggesting that Culver Street pre-dated the period when robbing for building materials was commonplace, i.e. the late 11th and 12th centuries. Also the presence of an inhumation under the north end of Trinity Street suggests that the cemetery of Trinity church was reduced in size to create the street. <1>
