Findspot record TR 15 NW 2357 - Prehistoric Pits, etc (70 Castle Street)

Summary

Observed and recorded apart from Roman deposits was a small group of five intercutting pre-and early Roman pits, located against the Castle Street frontage wall. The latest of these pits contained rammed gravel and mortar, perhaps used to consolidate softer ground when the first Roman street was being constructed; this contained no artefacts.
