Abstract:		 Four test pits were excavated to a depth of roughly 3m. Organic clay accounting for most of the depth was probably related to the former Minster Mill Stream. A leather shoe (medieval or post-medieval) was preserved in this layer, as well as plant and wood matter. Silty clay overlay this, indicative of drier conditions, and brick fragments in the highest clay layer probably indicated the very disturbed post-medieval to early modern ground surface. It was everywhere overlaid by rubble and the modern yard surface. In the site's south-west corner the ground was disturbed to at least 2m by a brick building or cellar. [Au(abr)]
