At least 0.50m of disturbed dark soil covers the Roman remains in this area,suggesting post-Roman clearing and dumping. During the medieval period the site was within an area of agricultural land. Due to 17th – 19th century garden landscaping of the Blossom Street area, Roman archaeology may be encountered at a relatively shallow depth within the garden area of the site.
