Full Description
During excavation at Culver Street between 1981-2 and 1984-5 (ECC337), the remains of a Roman building were found on the south side of Insula 27 fronting onto an east-west street (MCC733). Very little of the building was uncovered. Part of the robber trench for the foundation of the frontage wall was exposed. The west end of the trench appeared to branch northwards as part of a return. Between the street and the building frontage was a footway the south side of which was represented by a mortared foundation (MCC1083).<1>
