Monument record TR 15 NW 1999 - Roman Road Surface, east end of Watling Street
Summary
Roman Watling Street was found, and to the south of it a timber framed building. The street had clearly been closed or diverted during the second century when the entire width of the first three surfaces of metalling was overlaid by an opus Signinum floor; this was associated with a timber sleeper-beam trench and must have been part of a building.
