Monument record TR 15 NW 2011 - Roman Wall, east end of Watling Street
Summary
The excavation was undertaken in an open cellar measuring 29m north south by 12m east west. Evidence was seen of a deliberate raising of the ground surface in Roman times, probably to combat marshy conditions. Two streets were identified, the southern one on the same alignment as modern Watling Street and a norhern converging with the southern one somewhere near the Riding Gate.
