Between October 1983 and January 1984 The Canterbury Archaeological Trust excavated on the site of a public car park, in adavance of new housing being built on the site and the sitecode was CL83.
Due to the nature of the proposed development the excavations did not exceed a depth of 1m meaning that not much early stratigraphy was recorded. The excavation concentrated on the Church Lane frontage of the site. The earliest feature was a possible Roman road surface, consisting of flints and gravel and mortar. The Roman city wall lay c. 12m to the north of the excavation, along the north side of St Radigund's Street. Substantial deposits of a clayey loam overlying the possible street were interpreted as the remains of the levelled rampart. However, no in situ rampart levels were noted.
