Excavations on the site of the Cups Hotel. Succession of Roman walls found but recovery of building plans was not possible. Post-Boudiccan buildings probably not public. Occupation lasted to the early C5. Early N-S Roman street observed in section, also the earliest Roman wall was timber-framed infilled with fragments of segmental bricks and had been burnt in AD 60. The early street fits in well with the conjectural plan of the legionary fortress. <2> Finds included a late Roman bone comb and a cast bronze belt mount. The comb was stratified with over 100 coins (probably part of a dispersed hoard) enabling the object to be dated to after c.350-360. Associated pottery indicates a secure Roman rather than Saxon date. The belt-mount was found in a Norman robber trench butis likely to have been discarded or lost in a Roman context sometime after c.350, as with it were large amounts of other finds clearly derived from the same late Roman deposit as the comb. The mount is from a set * as * on the military belt in vogue in the 3rd quarter of the C4. <3>
