Description
A watching brief was held during the redevelopment of a site for small shop units. Two stanchion holes and a foundation trench were inspected. The largest of the stanchion holes was dug by machine and provided a section across the Roman rampart behind the town wall. This showed that the rampart was multi-phased and included at least one temporary street, and was predated by a substantial metalled street.
