Description
Late Roman buildings were located to the rear of the site, away from Skeldergate. A timber-framed well of Roman date was located. A riverside hard standing was sealed by silts which may date to the Anglian period.

A long narrow tenement plot alignment with a building to the rear of the plot was found to date to the Anglo-Scandinavian period. The tenement layout remained constant and continuously occupied throughout the medieval period when a stone and post-and-sill building was constructed and underwent various phases of development. Cess pits and other pits associated with domestic and commercial occupation were also encountered.
