During excavations for the District Railway foundations of
buildings were found, together with a red tessellated pavement
on a bed of concrete supported by a substructure of oak piling.
With the piling were the roots of oak trees, suggesting that
there had been a clearance of woodland before the building
was erected. 'A wall, a platform or way on two sides, a gutter
and some ducts' were also seen.
