Salvage excavation prior to the resurfacing of the street. At the N end of the street were foundations of a theatre - just under the surface. No Roman floor levels or other layers survived in this area, the modern street makeup overlay the Roman foundations directly. Archaeological investigation was only brief. The Roman foundations had been extensively cut by a mass of service trenches making it difficult to interpret the layout. The N end of the outer wall of the auditorium proved to be unexpectedly wide - the foundations 3.5m wide. S of the auditorium parts of a large N-S wall first recorded by Goodyear were uncovered - particularly badly damaged by services. Roman post hole also recorded. <1> Other ref. <2>
