Abstract: |
Undisturbed limestone brash, representing the natural strata of the city, occurred throughout the area of the evaluation. Lying above the natural surface were traces of Roman occupation, possibly beginning in the 2nd or 3rd centuries. The Roman remains included an infant burial, structures, and possible evidence of quarrying or stone-working. The Roman structures were possibly abandoned (in the 4th century), and a period of dereliction and disuse followed, with the site later re-occupied during the medieval period. Ultimately the medieval structures went out of use, probably during the 15th or 16th centuries and the site was subsequently used for agricultural/horticultural purposes until landscaped to form part of the college grounds.
