Description
Over most of the area excavated to reveal the Carmelite Friary 2, west of Clavering Place and south of Forth Street, "there was a layer of brown clay which contained Roman pottery" of the 2nd-3rd centuries A.D. and which sealed features, some of which may have been the remains of structures. One was a possible north- south construction trench; elsewhere there was a pile of cobbles, 3 courses deep. No Roman burials were found.
