Monument record TR 15 NW 2179 - Roman Shop/Industrial Building, 35 St. Margaret's Street

Summary

Four phases of occupation, dating to between c.70-110 AD, on the site were revealed. Evidence of smithing in the form of crucible fragments and driblets of molten bronze was recovered. However, it is not clear whether the hearths and ovens were part of a workshop or whether the industrial waste was rubbish dumped away from its place of origin.
