An archaeological report on the excavation of a roman building at Street House, near Loftus, undertaken in 2008.

The report contains reports on the pottery, jet working, plant macro-fossils and quernstones with a comment on the metalwork and glass. A discussion on the nearby parallels places the site in its context. There are 16 illustrations and 4 photographic images.
