Abstract:		 Work on an area long known as the probable site of the leper hospital of St Nicholas (which was founded in the late-twelfth century - see also 97/1759 & 2000/753). Four phases of activity were defined from the earliest Roman phase, through the medieval period, to post-medieval and modern activity. There are two distinct medieval phases (2A and 2B) which between them define a hiatus in activity following raiding attacks from Scotland in the late-thirteenth and early-fourteenth centuries. Post-medieval structures and the modern Charles Cropper Hall, both known from the historical record to have occupied the site, were also attested. The finds are detailed as follows: `The Roman pottery' by M L Hird & C M Brooks (98--102); `The medieval and post-medieval pottery' by C M Brooks (102--6); ironwork (mostly nails, possibly derived from a Roman burial) and other metalwork; glass - vessel, window and bead; a small amount of animal bone and some undiagnostic bone that may or may not be human and from the putative Roman burial; and `The palaeoenvironmental evidence' by Elizabeth Huckerby (107--9 & 110).
