Description
An archaeological evaluation carried out in January 2001, prior to the construction of a new computer block, found evidence for the remains of a substantial Roman building. This consisted of a thick layer of 'dark earth' was found to cover the demolition deposits up to a thickness of 2m. The undisturbed nature of the dark earth and the demolition deposit, suggest that the well preserved remains of a substantial Roman building exists below the proposed development area. <1>
