31 trenches were excavated across the Rochester Riverside development site in late 2004 and early 2005. In trenches in the Market Place car park alluvial deposits were found. These contained Roman tile fragments, worked stones and Opus Signinum in dumps which is thought to have been the result of dumping on what was a floodplain in the Roman period. A ditch of late Iron Age or early Roman date was also found (1-2).
