Full Description

Some small pits, stake-holes and two slots are described as CAT Building 10 although more than one structure may be involved. No floors or occupation of this period survived but the walls were represented by a spread of burnt daub blocks in the Boudican debris. The absence of occupation of this period is probably the result of the uppermost levels having been removed when the next Roman building on the site was constructed.<1>
