Adjacent to the road and at right angles to it, part of the foundations of a wall 5ft thick came to light, the foundations and lower courses of the wall being of lias, above which was ‘stud and mud’. An adjoining roof is indicated by flanged and covering tiles of the usual types, and the mud walls were plastered inside and painted in various colours. (1)
Part of the foundations of a wall five foot thick have, however, been found adjacent, and almost at right angles to the Fosse. The foundations and lower courses are of lias limestone, above is ”stud and mud”, and the roof is covered with thatch or pantiles. The mud walls were carefully plastered inside and painted in various patterns, the colours still remaining quite vivid. The roof covering consisted of flat flanged tiles (Tegulae) with half rounds (imbrices) over the interstices. (2)
