Description

In September 1997 Wessex Archaeology undertook a watching brief on four machine-dug trenches dug as part of improvements to two WDDC car parks in Colliton Street. Very little time was available for the observations. Trench 4 was a rectangular trench 1.8m long, 0.8m wide and about 0.75m dug against the wall in the southern end of the western car park. The fill observed in this trench was exclusively modern. No archaeological features were observed.
