Full Description
Construction of houses in the garden of St Mary's Cottage. THe W half of the site was occupied mainly by topsoil and redeposited Roman material. Some foundations (robbed out), tessellated pavement, mortar pavement and Roman tile drains pointed to a Roman house. The fill of the drain was demolition debris containing some Hadrianic and Antonine pottery. A well preserved military plinth lay on the E side of the site. The walls had burnt floors to either side sealed by Boudiccan debris indicating it had probably been the spine wall of a barrack that had been reused in the colony. <1>
