Abstract:		 A small excavation (6.1m by 5.3m) was carried out in advance of a housing development. The further discovery of Romano-British finds, including tiles from a hypocaust, indicated the presence of a relatively high status building in the near vicinity of the site. Pottery of the early/mid Anglo-Saxon period showed that the settlement found elsewhere extended towards the Market Square. The, perhaps deliberate, filling of a ditch was dated to c.late 11th century. The function of this feature may have been to keep livestock from the marshy area to the west. The waterlogged seeds from the marsh suggested fen grading into reedswamp during the 10-11th century. Subsequent use of the excavation site was for agricultural or horticultural purposes during the 12th and 13th centuries. Re-ordering of the Town Brook took place during the 17th-18th century with subsequent building of cottages along Chapel Street in the mid 18th century. [Au]
