Full Description
A third century Roman coin and some roof tiles were recovered during the construction of a rectangular shaft on the north side of Pepper Street in 1941. The excavations revealed a substantial solid block of masonry believed to have destroyed any Roman structural remains. (1)
Petch later attributes this masonry to the Roman baths, however (2)
