The seventh N-S street from the west of Roman walled town. A section through the NE gateway shows the street with drain passing beneath it. Careful examination showed that the street, gate and drain are contemporary, the drain completely enveloped in the gravel of the road. Nothing was found in this except a few lumps of pebbles cemented by iron as if a few nails had been left in it. The surface of the road showed little wear and bore only one thin repair. In the excavations of 1927-9 three sections were cut across the road. The first section was 123ft S of the gate where the gravel metalling was 28ft wide and c.2.5ft thick in the centre, steeply cambered. In it a dark line marked off two periods and minor repairs showed in these two main phases. The whole was laid on grey clay that contained oyster shells and pre-Flavian sherds. There was also part of a very corroded bronze disk, animal bones and a piece of squared ashlar of oolite, all mixed with traces of burning. This layer can be dated to AD61 and there was no street metalling at this time. The west side was bounded by a drain (12450). The road is thicker here than further S. A second section was cut where the drain turns W, 485ft S of the gateway. The road here was 26ft wide, only the western 18ft well metalled with 10" gravel cambered to almost nothing at the edges, laid in grey clay. The W side is bounded by the drain (12450) and to the E lay 2 blocks of septaria that may indicate the position of the boundary wall of insula 16, with a gravel floor, like that of a yard, beyond it. The third section was directly E of the SE corner of the `Mithraeum'. It lay on a bed of grey clay with a pitching of lumps of septaria in the eastern half. On this two successive banks of metalling were clearly visible. The road may have crept westwards. The street may have been seen again in the High Street; "if so it has more or less recovered its line". In 1930 an excavation in the pathway at the entrance to Greyfriars revealed the surface of a Roman street running N-S. Its E side coincides with the marks on the wall of East Hill House showing the boundary of All Saints and St James's parishes. The metalling was of small gravel exactly as in former sections of this street. <1>
