Description
A number of bones were found by contractors below the floor level of a basement whilst cleaning around the top of pressure piles that had recently been sunk against the sides of load-bearing walls in order to consolidate the building. The bones were animal and fish bones and the deposits from which the bones were derived appear likely, on the basis of the three sherds of pottery recovered, to be of medieval date. The origin of the deposits is likely to be of either build-up or dumping during the medieval period.
