Following the demolition of an 18th century warehouse behind No 5 Queen Street, a four week excavation of the site was undertaken in August and September 1966. The site overlay a small portion of Insula 31. Unfortunately work was hampered by the great depth of topsoil which covered the site which reached depths of between 11 and 13 feet. As a result the trenches were considerably smaller than had been originally intended. Post Roman remains consisted of robber trenches. Only trenches 2 and 3 were excavated down to the Roman levels and both revealed traces of a substantial masonry building. The Roman levels were found to overlay the natural subsoil but no trace of Boudican destruction was found. <1><2>
