Full Description
March-April 2008. Watching Brief.
Monitoring of excavation of cable trench. The cable trench ran south along the school playing fields, across ferry lane, along the edge of Browne Meadow's car park, across the gardens of 20 and 16 The Close, across Horsefair Loke and into Horsefair House. The trench was excavated to a depth of 600mm.
No archaeological features were recorded, but it is likely that this was due to the width and depth of the trench and that features may lie at a deeper level. Medieval and post-medieval pottery sherds were recovered, along with a small, waisted, bulbous bowl of a clay pipe, dating to the early- mid 17th century. The finds were residual and unstratified.
