Abstract:		 An area of 216 square meters was excavated and a single borehole sunk on the site of the Former Central Garage Rye. The lower courses of the medieval town wall cross the site and have been investigated in earlier phases of work on the site, this wall was shown to have been built in two phases with the later phase lying to the west of the site. The excavation area investigated the land to the south of the course of the wall which would have lain within the medieval town defences, while the borehole investigated the medieval defensive ditch to the north of the medieval town wall on the outside of the wall. The excavation identified two phases of intercutting medieval refuse pits; the first dated by ceramics to AD 1200-1400 and the second phase dated to AD 1400-1550. The first phase of pits were smaller shallower and more numerous than the second phase. One pit in particular from the second phase was shown to be very large and lies very close to the later phase of the town wall. There is a possibility that it may be associated with the construction or rebuild of that part of the town wall however its full extent could not be reliably defined and it is unclear if the feature actually extends below the wall. The borehole was located 11m to the northwest of the wall alignment and identified probable ditch fills to a depth of 3.64m below current ground level (1.82m AOD). A second planned borehole could not be taken due to extreme thickness of concrete at that location.
