Description
Medieval deposits dating to the 11th-13th centuries were recorded in one of four excavated trenches. Some of this material was waterlogged and included rich organic remains and was interpreted as occuring in an area of garden or back yard. A timber found at the lowest level was thought to have been a sill beam for a small wooden structure such as a shed or outhouse. Post medieval demolition debris was recorded as having been used to raise the ground surface by between 1 - 1.50m and intensive modern activity had destroyed most of the post medieval deposits.
