Summary
Pot boilers were found in this area during 1998. These could be from a prehistoric burnt mound, although it is difficult to tell as a river tunnel constructed on the site during the 19th century may have resulted in considerable ground disturbance. A thick and extensive burnt flint deposit recorded approximately 60m to the east in 2016 is though almost certainly the remains of burnt mound (see NHER 67190).
