Abstract
Excavations were carried out by the Verulamium Excavation Committee, on behalf of the Research Committee of this Society, for a fourth season lasting 7½ weeks in July and August 1958. Work was confined to two areas. The plan of the extra-mural building (Site S) north-east of Verulamium on the opposite side of the river, beside the A5 road, was recovered in so far as affected by the new road which is soon to cover it; the remainder of the work was devoted towards completing the plans of, and obtaining the fullest information about, sites in Insulae XIV and XXVIII, which had been already partly explored in 1957. Those parts are already sealed under the new road; if the Committee fails to explore the remainder of such buildings, in so far as they extend outside the area of the new road, before pegs and landmarks disappear it will never be possible to complete the plans accurately. In view of the importance of most of the buildings which need further treatment in this way, it is to be hoped that support will not fail before the work is done.Keywords
