Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	The archaeological evaluation and excavations recorded archaeological evidence dating from the 11th century to the modern period. The archaeological investigation found evidence of early medieval activity in the eastern part of the site where re-deposited terrace gravel formed a man made surface probably part of the predecessor of modern Upper Street dating to the 11th century or earlier. The re-deposited gravels were truncated between the 11th and 14th century by two phases of ditches the latest phase of which (Phase 4) were interpreted as field/property boundary ditches. The ditches were later overlain by a horticultural layer dated between 1340 and 1480. During the first half of the 16th century Building 1 was constructed. Development of the area immediately to the west of Building 1 was indicated by the insertion of a clay and gravel layer laid down in order to consolidate this area for use as an external yard. Later modifications to Building 1 included replacement of this external section by a larger exterior yard with a surface of re-used roof tiles forming the floor level. The later post-medieval development of the site on its eastern side consisted of the construction of the Mitre Public House during the early 19th century and the later erection of buildings to the south of the Pub all of which were recorded during the excavation and evaluation.
