Full Description

Building 17, Site B, Lion Walk. Floors made of well-mixed Boudican debris laid to form floors 0.1 to 0.2m thick. The plan of the building was obscure. Traces of what appeared to have been ground-plates were found on the east sides of BF152 and BF153 and elsewhere there were posts and post-pits. Also some gravel-packed post-bases formed a rough north-south line parallel with the street. <1>
