Monument record TR 15 NW 2138 - Roman Occupation Evidence, 44 Watling Street

Summary

Roman Watling Street was found, and to the south of it a timber framed building. The street had been closed or diverted during the second century when the width of the first three surfaces of metalling was overlaid by an opus Signinum floor; this must have been part of a building. The building was later demolished and Watling Street resumed its earlier course.
