Full Description
Roman material found included an opus signinum floor-base which had coloured tesserae both in the dark earth above it and in the fill of the post-medieval pit which cut it, suggesting that it was the base for a mosaic floor within a building. Roman building demolition material was also recorded, including flue tile and coloured tesserae.<1>
