Full Description
June 2004. Trial Trench.
Evaluation of proposed development site. From context 1000 to 1135.
The single trench excavated revealed evidence of a succession of medieval floors, post holes, a possible foundation trench and a low rubble wall footing. These suggest the presence of at least one building on this site in the medieval period. Underlying the sequence of floors was a large, wattle lined-pit of undetermined function.
