Full Description
January 2009. Watching Brief.
Monitoring of excavation of drains between Market Gates and North Market Road. Contexts 31-34.
No archaeological features were encountered, but finds recovered included medieval and post-medieval pottery sherds, a hone stone, fragments of animal bone and clay tobacco pipe. The earliest pottery was 14th century and included domestic Grimston ware and imported German stoneware. The finds recovered during this watching brief are likely to derive from general domestic waste and demolition debris, utilised in the early 19th century to level the ground outside the town walls prior to building in this area.
