Abstract (en)

Small excavations were undertaken to locate any surviving traces of Hadrian's Wall, to locate and examine the ditched element of the medieval town defences adjacent to the West Gate, to examine the nature of the later and post-medieval refurbishments of the town defences, and investigate the history of extra-mural suburban expansion outside the West Gate. Finds included pottery, clay pipes, glass objects and 17th c. coins.
