Abstract:		 Five small trenches were excavated, though only three located in Corve Street were observed as they were considered likely to disturb buried archaeological remains. The first trench, on the western edge of Corve Street only indicated the make-up deposits for the present road services and a number of modern services. In the second trench, on the eastern side of Corve Street, a number of well-compacted layers, provisionally dated to the 13th - 14th century sealed an earlier sandstone structure. This structure, unfortunately undated, may represent either the foundations for the possible medieval gateway across the northern end of Corve Street, or the footings for a frontage to an earlier building on the eastern side of Corve Street. Though the date of this structure is unclear, it may be associated with the Carmelite Friary, dating to 1350 - 1538 AD. The third trench, again on the eastern side of Corve Street, also identified a series of well-compacted sandy clay layers that represent a continuation of the earlier road surfaces noted in the second trench. These layers also overlay an earlier, heavily truncated, undated sandstone feature, the original nature of which was less clear. Pottery recovered from the earlier road surface indicated a date of the 13th - 14th centuries.
