A large east-west ditch, context 203, was orientated parallel with the original line of Roman Ermine Street. This probably formed the northern (rear) boundary ditch for properties along the northern side of the Roman road, within the settlement area. The other features were interpreted as further evidence of Roman occupation and activity on the site, further attested to by the large amount of Roman artefacts recorded during the evaluation.

During an evaluation in advance of a new development a small amount of unstratified pottery and a possible pit of Roman date were recorded, perhaps indicative of nearby occupation.

A single trench, 10m x 1.5m, was excavated. revealing buried soils. Dating evidence from these soils indicated the site had been under cultivation from at least the later 13th century. Truncating this soil were garden features of the 17th -18th century. Most of the topsoil had been recently removed and the ground level raised with building rubble.

Twenty four trenches, each generally 1.2m wide but varying in length as circumstances dictated, were excavated. The evaluation found evidence of possible prehistoric activity together with early medieval and post-medieval occupation. The prehistoric activity consisted of a shallow gully in trench 23, context 2308, sealed below deposits dated by four worked flints and a small fragment of possible smoothed stone. Other worked flints were recovered. The medieval evidence consisted mainly of a deep pit in trench 23, context 2304 and a feature in trench 26, context 2619.

Eight evaluation trenches were excavated within two walled gardens. Trenches located in the smaller of the two gardens, close to the Canonbury Street frontage, revealed a series of deposits and structures associated with building activity together with a small assemblage of medieval pottery. The evidence suggested that this area contained up to three medieval dwellings and associated burgage plots. The remains of a 19th century greenhouse, along with a series of deposits and structures relating to drainage were revealed within the larger garden. A series of formal garden features possibly predating the walled garden were also uncovered as well as further garden features. [Au(adp)] SMR primary record number:22165
