Notes about this historic site
1 1985: Watching brief on foundations for a new garage. One of foundation trenches produced reddish-brown silty clay similar to that found on AL14 (between No 8 and 10 Meeting Lane); this may represent the rampart of the Roman town.
2 2006: Watching brief at 10 Meeting Lane, revealed inconclusive evidence for the existence of the rampart as a redeposited red clay layer, which was suggested as contemporaneous with MWA4831 and MWA7402 because of the similarity in descriptions. This was visible in the south-eastern end of the trenches.
