Description

Programme of improvement carried out by Grosvenor Construction Ltd on the pedestrian entrance in the City Walls as well as repairs to the upper wall surface.

All deposits contained a range of artefacts dating from the Roman to post medieval periods largely as disturbed or residual finds.
