Evaluation
is a limited programme of fieldwork to determine the presence and nature of the archaeological resource within a specified area, the results of the evaluation are then used to formulate future strategies and proposals.
The wall (Phase 1, left) is thought to be part of a large civilian building, possibly a dwelling or inn/shop. This building was demolished, probably in the late 2nd to early 3rd century AD and a less substantial timber structure with stone foundations was erected on the site.
