The site was just within the Roman (and later Medieval) city wall and consisted of five trenches, labelled A, B, C, D 1 and 2. Trench C was dug around the north corner of the surviving precinct wall of the Black Prince's Chantry. This revealed a sequence of post-Roman 'dark-earth' deposits and later garden soils. These overlay 30-40cm of rammed river gravels from the Roman period and also part of a Roman street.

The remaining trenches were dug against the street frontage. The earliest levels revealed evidence of pre-Roman occupation, now below the water table, and included pottery. Features of this period included a field boundary/drainage ditch, quarries and an early trackway.

The earlier layers were sealed by metalling from two Roman streets, forming a junction at the centre of the site. The streets appear to have originated in the early Roman period.
