Full Description
The only remains of CAT Building 27 uncovered at Lion Walk took the form of two robber trenches. The width of these trenches point to a public rather than a private building.
(Building 27 is almost certainly the same as the public building partly excavated by Hull on the St Nicholas Church Site in 1955. If so, then it must have occupied the whole of Insula 29).<1>
