Full Description
During excavations at Culver Street between 1981-2 and 1984-5 (ECC337), the fragmentary foundations of a small rectangular building (CAT Building 129) were discovered situated to the north of a medieval cellar (MCC931) and directly over a Roman building (MCC905). The building measured 4.7m by at least 3.4m. The foundations were shallow, constructed of coursed septaria and peg-tile and probably supported a timber-frame. This was probably an outbuilding of likely 15th to 16th century date belonging to one of the houses fronting onto Head Street. <1>
