Monument record TR 15 NW 2162 - Roman Stage Floor, 39-40 St. Margaret Street (formerly No. 38)

Summary

The floor with its thick gravel foundation is quite unlike, for example, the floor of the encircling corridor of the Theatre. It suggests a podium and raises the question wheher this is not part of a temple associated with the Theatre. It is however rather too close to the Theatre for this to be likely, and a better solution would be to regard it as part of the stage or stage-building.
