During excavations at Culver Street between 1981-2 and 1984-5 (ECC337), a Roman timber-framed building (CAT Building 100) was discovered situated on the south side of an east-west street (MCC733) and to the east of the former via principalis (MCC760).
Interpretation of the building remains was complicated by the fact that the relevant remains had been largely removed by machine stripping.

The position of the frontage wall of this, and three other buildings (MCC865, MCC866 and MCC868) was indicated by a series of pits for posts. There was no clear evidence to suggest the footway (MCC788) between the frontage wall and the street had been an integral part of the buildings.
The walls of the building seem mainly to have been of the type incorporating posts set in pits. The west wall was defined by a line of post-pits and large stake holes. Other walls were represented by lines of pits and stake holes and shallow slots.<1>
