Abstract:		 No archaeological remains were identified during detailed observations within the areas adjacent to number 5 Castle Lane. In particular, no remains were encountered that alluded to earlier Saxon or medieval occupation or expansion of the town in the late medieval period into the outer bailey. Furthermore no features or deposits survived that could be associated with nearby 16th and 17th century listed buildings or the contemporary/pre-19th century property that historic maps show once stood at the road frontage of the site. Reduction of the ground level by removal of topsoil, subsoil, and overburden had previously taken place alongside 5 Castle Lane prior to the construction of associated outbuildings on its north-east side. The foundations of these outbuildings had truncated the natural and all subsequent soil horizons. Where no previous truncation had taken place clean natural sand that sloped gently to the south-west was encountered c.1.1m below a 0.44m-thick layer of orange/red clay silt colluvium into which any remains would likely have been cut. Above the colluvium was a dark substrate/subsoil 0.5m-thick that was sealed by a c.0.20m-thick accumulation of modern garden topsoil. No finds were recovered from any stage in the depositional sequence. Evidence is consistent with cartographic sources that indicates the majority of the groundworks were carried out on land that has been heavily truncated by modern development or has remained undeveloped until fairly recently.
