Full Description
A floor identical to that found in 2003 was found in the 2005 trench, as well as indications that a tessellated pavement had stood here, but had been demolished some time in or after the Roman period.<1>
Floor F1 was sealed by L6. In constructional detail, the floor was identical to F5 (MCC2881), but with smaller ceramic pieces. There was no sign of a similar floor north of F2, so the room must have ended along the line of F2. The north edge of F1 was detected by the south sondage, which was machine-dug.
