Full Description

Floor layer dates to the final phase of Romano-British activity on site. There was a deposition of limestone and mudstone rubble prior to the construction of the floor. It is likely this layer is floor preperation, though it is possible it represents a heavily disturbed wall. This floor layer is cut by a beam slot and two robber trenches. This floor layer butts wall MNT27222.
