Full Description
During excavations at Balkerne Lane in 1973-6 (ECC332), remnants of a Roman building were discovered. Only small parts of the building were excavated so that little is known about their plans or arrangements of rooms. A single plinth was located which formed the frontage of the building. No other plinths were found suggesting that the walls were set directly on the ground. Immediately north of the plinth was a gravelled area which was probably the floor of a room. Elsewhere the floors were constructed of daub.<1>
