Abstract:		 The principal archaeological remains identified to the rear of the Former White Horse Public House consisted of post-medieval features and deposits that included several wall alignments, associated post-holes and floor surfaces. Relating to and overlying these was a series of 18-19th century build-up, dumped deposits, and modern yard surfaces. This provided evidence to suggest that, subsequent to the culverting of the river Slade that runs through the south end of the site, the open yard area formerly contained at least two phases of brick-built structures possibly representing remains of out-buildings and a stable block that were likely associated with the public house and which are evident on historic mapping. These post-medieval remains sat above of a well-mixed gravel-rich layer that overlay the natural deposit in place of any clean subsoil or topsoil. Beneath this layer was evidence for survival of earlier remains, at a depth of c.1.1m, but these were not fully characterised during this stage of the investigation. This investigation provides evidence for the continual occupation and re-development of the site in the towns'' recent history and indicates that there is some potential for survival of earlier remains, perhaps of Medieval date. Overall, the site has potential to contribute to the further understanding of the town''s growth, specifically in the area around the market.
