Find Spot record 8088/59 - Roman finds from 76-88 Northgate Street

Please read our .

Summary

A small quantity of Roman building material including ceramic tile as well as pottery fragments were recovered during archaeological investigations to the east side of Northgate Street in 1971. Although they were recovered from the area of the large courtyard building in the centre of the Roman fortress, the finds appear to be residual, occurring as a result of soil disturbance when the cutting of one feature removes finds from a lower and therefore earlier layer and re-deposits them closer to the surface.
