Full Description

A Roman concrete and opus signinum floor was observed by Jenkins during trial trenching in the cellar of a bombed building outside 46 Burgate Street (TQ 15035782, OS 1:1250, 1972) in advance of reconstruction. It was flanked to the south by an internal clay wall with white plaster rendering on its south side. One mortarium rim recovered from under the floor was of the Dane John kiln type circa late 1st to 2nd century. (1)
