Trial pit 1, on the W side of a small lawned area between tennis courts and sandstone revetment wall, south of and parallel to Greenalls Avenue, revealed the possible surviving structural foundation for a Roman building.

One block had a central square-cut hole in it and has evidently ben reused during the Roman period. One sherd of Roman coarse ware pottery was found 91).
