Full Description
The remains of a large stone wall were found on the site, constructed from septaria and some Roman tile pieces set in a light brown lime mortar. In places it was clear that the wall had been, at least in part, neatly faced with septaria blocks, but the tile was included in a rather jumbled fashion and not coursed. Overall the arrangement of this wall and its general make-up could be compared with the remains of the stone house demolished in Foundry Yard in 1886 just to the east of this site <2> and it is probable that this is the remains of one of several important early medieval stone built houses in the town centre. <1>
