(TR 15015781) A Roman Street, building and medieval cellars were discovered during renovation work in June and July 1984 at No 44 Burgate. Seven trenches in the cellars and one immediately in front of the premises, under Burgate Street, exposed stratified deposits indicating the presence of a major north-west to south- east Roman street and a Roman timber building. Masonry walls associated with earlier cellars dating from the late 12th to 15th century were also exposed. The present part brick and part late medieval chalk-block cellar underlies a substantially intact mid 15th century timber-framed building. (1-3)
