Description
During the excavation of a manhole for the G.P.O. a north-south ditch, at least 2 m wide and a minimum of I m deep, was observed beneath the southern pavement of the High Street, opposite the Co-operative Society's shop. No finds were recovered, but the ditch dimensions would suggest that it formed the west side of the Roman town defences, which elsewhere are virtually sterile.
