Roman wall at Queen Street Bus Garage.
In July 1966 a small excavation was made by the Bus company in the north side of the roofed part of their garage in Queen Street. 30ft along the north wall of the garage from the north-east corner, a trench was dug at an angle to the wall and measuring 30ft north south and 5ft wide. A masonry wall ran south from the north end of the trench for 11ft and then turned east and ran across the trench and into the east section. Within the angle so formed was the make-up for a clay floor which contained a Trajanic mortarium rim. South of the east west wall was a narrow strip about 6" wide of clay with traces of tips of ash on its surface and beyond this was a gravel layer with traces of a depression on the northern edge of what appeared to be an east-west cambered road.<1>
