Full Description
A north-south Roman street discovered during commercial excavations on the site of a new department store,' Locke's site' (ECC665). The street was 25 feet wide and was flanked on the west by a drainage gully. The street revealed five resurfacings and was flanked on the west by the remains of the foundations of a Roman masonry building (MCC1666). The street was overlain by a thick deposit of burnt daub after two re-surfacings which the excavator felt could not be attributed to the Boudican revolt and instead believed to a later Antonine fire.<1>
