Full Description
The watching brief in 2001 revealed part of a possible Roman tessellated floor and a probable robber trench dug to remove a Roman wall. These features may have been from a house fronting the Roman street, which would be expected from this area of the town. An almost complete Roman jar may be part of a votive deposit associated with the building.<1>
