Monument record TR 15 NW 2002 - Roman Road Surface between Rose Lane and St Margaret's Street
Summary
By the sixth or seventh century, at the latest, the street had gone out of use and was cut by a pit containing a Jutish and a grass-tempered sherd. This pit and the street were sealed by a thick deposit of 'dark earth' which contained patches of burnt debris, possibly from a timber hut.
