A magnetometer survey and trial trenched evaluation were carried out at St Benedict’s College, Norman Way, in October 2003. On the 15th of October a magnetometer survey was carried out over 0.11ha of the site. The magnetometer survey revealed a strong linear anomaly in the north-eastern corner which on later excavation proved to be modern. Two other faint linear anomalies could not traced by the trial excavations. On the 17th and 18th of October four trenches were excavated equating to 3% of the 0.41 hectare area, all to c.0.7m in depth. No archaeological features were observed. The ground showed very little evidence of disturbance. This, coupled with the scarcity of finds, indicates that the ground had been left untouched for a long period of time. The lack of much Roman pottery or tile suggests that there were centres of Roman occupation in the vicinity. No cremation burials were observed during the excavation, nor was there any evidence of late Iron Age or Roman ditches. <1>
