comment:
"in excavation on the north side of Blackhall Street (ST 3402 9080), in the Roman Gates development" (RIB 3093) = HD073308
"in excavation with fragment (c) of RIB 3093 re-used in fourth-century paving on the north side of Blackhall Street (ST 3402 9080), in the Roman Gates development" (RIB 3103)

I assume that Blackhall Street is a typo for Backhall Street, because ST 3402 9080 puts one in the vicinity of Backhall Street. See, however, http://www.caerleon.net/history/kelly1901/, where a "Kembrev Wm. baker, Blackhall street" is listed
