Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation, consisting of the excavation of five trial trenches, was undertaken in advance of the proposed development of the site. No evidence emerged for occupation in the form of ribbon development along the current course of Silver Street, however, it was possible that the medieval road took a slightly different route. Archaeological features were encountered which suggested that the area might have been close to agricultural activity, possibly part of a farmyard. The features consisted of boundary ditches including a probable enclosure, pits and postholes, together with an oven or corn-dryer for domestic or agricultural use. Based on artefactual evidence, they were dated to the 13th-14th century. Thick post-medieval make-up layers sealed the archaeological features. [Au(adp)]
