NHER 1214 (Monument record) - Pair of small medieval cottages, south side of Sedgeford Lane

1963-1970 (at some time). Systematic observation and recovery during excavation of service trenches.
A T-junction of an east-west and a north-south wall of one build lay on foundation trenches filled with gravel and sand. These walls were similar to the north-south wall recorded to the east (NHER 1213) having been constructed of red brick, clunch and carstone. Patches of floor levels were seen on both sides of the north-south wall and cobbling south of the east-west wall. These walls probably defined two small cottages, each measuring 3.8m (12 ft 6 in) by 6.4m (21 ft), both on the same tenement. These features were dated by the excavator to the late 13th or early 14th century.
The only finds from this site were two Grimston jugs and a few cooking pot sherds.
