Introduction
The fieldwork comprised of an archaeological excavation of the footprint of the proposed building. A total of four archaeological features were identified within the Site. These comprised two ditches and two inter-cutting pits. Two Saxon rubbish pits contained material associated with the disposal of both general domestic waste and cess material, and possibly industrial waste; the latter suggested by moderate quantities of slag retrieved from the fills of the pits. Although no dating evidence has been recovered, it is likely that the two ditches identified as lying perpendicular to the extant street frontage, represent post-medieval property boundaries.
