Monument record TR 15 NW 2203 - Medieval City Wall, 101 Westgate Gardens
Summary
The Medieval wall, which was demolished in c.1800, had clearly followed the same line as the Roman defences. A number of medieval tiles and large building-stones was found in the robbed material at the top of the trenches. As the Roman wall was built of flint, the large stones are presumed to be from the Medieval wall.
