| Abstract: |
A total of nine trenches were excavated. Small quantities of residual prehistoric, Roman and middle-Saxon finds were recovered. The earliest certain occupation evidence dated from the late-Saxon period, and included rubbish pits, ditches, and slight traces of buildings in the form of burnt daub and limestone rubble. Evidence shoes that stone-built cellars, one of which was vaulted, were constructed on the High Street frontage. Rubbish pits and wells were found overlain by a thick garden soil. [Au(abr)] |
