Abstract:		 The northern part of the site produced evidence for two later 18th /early 19th century semi-detached cottages, which are shown on plans after 1847 and up to their destruction by wartime bombing. A series of brick wall bases related to a building some 9.2m by 7.5m in plan, with a further wall base marking the position of an outhouse. Photographic evidence shows that the main building was of two-storeys, and probably timber-framed and weatherboarded over brick footings with only the central wall and chimney bases carried up in brick. Within the central and southern parts of the site mid 20th century truncation had removed any evidence for historic structures. However, a small group of post-medieval pottery suggests some activity in the later 17th and early 18th centuries, with a typical mixture of utilitarian and fine wares. There was no evidence for any earlier activity, and excavation generally exposed the natural River Terrace sandy silt/clay and gravel c. 700mm below modern ground level.
