“They will tunnel through the brickwork and sandstone blocks above the Roman foundations of the secret building and into the void behind.

There are plans for a 58-bed hotel at the Pierpoint Lane site, off Bridge Street, but any significant structures and finds will be accommodated within the design, possibly through the use of glass floors.

Archaeologist Mike Emery said: “It’s something substantial but we don’t know that is. It has been suggested it might be Roman hospital but no-one quite knows.”
