Full Description
During excavations at Culver Street between 1981-2 and 1984-5 (ECC337), a Roman building (CAT Building 97) was discovered situated to the west of the former via principalis (MCC760) and south of an area of open cultivation and north of a street (MCC764). The building as represented by only fragmentary remains, appears to have been a small structure which fronted onto the former via principalis.
The principal structural feature was a burnt ground-plate belonging to an internal wall. To the west of this was a north -south slot which may have held the ground-plate for the west side of the building. Other features included a sandy clay floor overlain by a charcoal-rich occupation debris, a hearth and a series of at least four ovens.<1>
