Investigations to the south of Ock Street and to the west of West St Helen's Street in 2002--3 revealed new evidence for the development of Abingdon from the Iron Age to the post-medieval period. The outer Late Iron Age/early Roman settlement boundary ditch identified in previous investigations was traced through the site, and new evidence for a recut of this ditch was found. The remains of the medieval building that later became The Lamb Inn on the southern side of Ock Street were revealed and appear to have been occupied at some point by a leatherworker and possibly a tanner. Tenements uncovered fronting West St Helen's Street were also found to have been the site of small-scale industrial activity. Parts of a medieval building in the centre of the development area, discovered during an evaluation in 1996--7, were further exposed, including the discovery of a garderobe, strengthening evidence that it was the vicarage of St Helen's rather than the Chapel of St Edmund as was once suggested. Clay-pipe manufacture appears to have occurred at the site of the Lamb Inn from the early-seventeenth century, with the end of this industry coinciding with the end of the Ely occupancy of the Inn in the early-eighteenth century. The excavations revealed evidence for the destruction of buildings during the English Civil War in the seventeenth century, and a small cemetery in the south of the development area may also belong to this period.
