Abstract:		 Investigation of a 170sq m excavation area. The earliest feature was a single Late Bronze Age pit. Two medieval boundary ditches defined part of a plot fronting onto the High Street, outside the town enclosure. Within this, pits and postholes constituted the remains of activity of 13th to 14th century date. Recovered pottery and animal bone assemblages suggest the likely domestic nature of this activity, though no medieval buildings could be discerned amongst the postholes. A probable hearth or oven base, with associated burnt cereal remains, indicated processing or production activity. After a period of apparent abandonment, the site was reoccupied from the 17/18th century onwards. Pits indicate initial land use was probably for domestic rubbish disposal. In the early 19th century, the site was cleared and levelled in preparation for the construction of a school. Parts of a range of brick-built outbuildings, possible yard surfacing, drains and a brick-lined structure tentatively identified as the location of a water pump, shown on historic OS mapping, were recorded.
