Type and Period
Description
1985. Trial trenching.
Prior to development, a trial trench was dug on what seemed to be a relatively large undisturbed area within the medieval town, fronting on the Roman road. The trench uncovered remains of, presumably, the last building that stood on the site.
Below this, was what seemed to be natural gravel, apparently an intact river terrace above the Brain. Newland Street formed a hollow way cutting into it (see EHER 8174). <1> <2>
