In 1892, Roman walls were encountered when a path was made through the Castle Rampart at the NW corner (where it is postulated that an entrance may have existed in Norman times).<1> F.M. Nichols writes, 'At the north-east corner of the ramparts in Mr Round's garden, about half way up the external slope, the removal of a small quantity of earth has exposed the corner of a wall very substantially built in concrete and faced with bricks laid in a very regular fashion'.<2> Henry Laver notes, 'A wall fragment which had not been observed before (at the NW angle of the Bailey), had during the excavations been traced round three sides of the Castle. The fourth side had probably been destroyed at the end of the 17th century, when the houses on the north side of that part of High Street were built. The wall was evidently of Roman construction' <3>. Also in 1892 during the making of the new Castle Park a vaulted drain, Roman walls and two burials groups were uncovered. Henry Laver recorded a vaulted drain c20" wide and 2ft 5" high, built of tiles and septaria and lined throughout with Roman mortar, situated to the NW of the castle (part of which is on display in the park).<4> Hull records from Lavers comments that 'It runs under both (Roman Precinct) walls, curving away to the north as if to cross under the Roman street and take up a line along the west side of it'.<5> As mentioned above stretches of concentric walls (of the Temple Precinct) were recovered to the west of the castle. On the west side, between the walls, Laver found two red concrete floors. On them were inhumation burials, described as almost certainly of early Saxon date. Two burial groups were recorded abutting the inner side of the outer wall, the most northerly of two skeletons in 'coffin' shaped graves the southern group of four skeletons.<4> In 1892 Laver recorded a square masonry structure 19.5ft by 6.5 ft attached to the rear of the wall in Castle Park, which he identified as a wall tower (Laver, 1903, 124).<4>
