Description
Report on a series of small scale pits and window samples excavated across the Northgate Development site in 2007. All pits were extremely small in nature and their excavation was monitored by an archaeologist.
The results were extremely limited due to the small scale nature of the pits although Roman contexts were noted on a number of occasions.
