A desk-based study and site visit to assess the archaeological potential of a site proposed for development. In particular, the study sought to address the question of whether the remains of medieval house plots might survive along the street frontage, and whether two Romano-British burials found near by might be evidence of a more extensive cemetery extending into the development site.
