With a long history of occupation remains from the Roman period can find themselves being moved for re-use. Such is the case with some of the masonry from the Principia. It was located under where the Minster now stands (see the maps on the title page and page 9 for the site images).
St. Mary's Bishophill Junior
The church of St. Mary Bishophill Junior, built in the 11th century is reputed to contain Roman period stonework incorporated into the lower portions of the tower.
The Roman archway
Furthermore the archway, built inside the tower, may have derived from the Principia.
Ancient loose stonework
The church is located on the opposite side of the River Ouse to the fortress building in what would be the vicus or civilian settlement. Excavations on the site in 1961 and 1967 revealed a substation tial Roman third or fourth century house, not now visible. Many fish bones were recovered and some sort of fish processing operation is thought to have existed.
