1996: During underpinning, as a part of a refurbishment of a cellar, a short length of medieval mortared-flint walling was found preserved behind the later brickwork.A maximum length of only 1.2m of the wall was exposed and examination of it suggested that it either comprised the outside face of the wall of a cellar, lying directly to the south, or the outside face of a well. An attempt by the builders to establish the thickness of the wall by excavating a small hole though the fabric, had been abandoned after 50cm. The composition of the wall changed with depth, revealing a rendered face down to c.2m. Below the present ground level. Below this, a 0.3m thick layer of coursed flints and peg-tile fragments gave way to rough flints in a creamy mortar matrix. The wall was traceable to c.3.1m below the present street level and continued downwards below the depth of the adjacent underpinning trench. Associated with the underpinning of the cellar was a reduction in floor level. With the cellar already cut to subsoil level, it nevertheless seemed probable that the bases of rubbish pits might still survive. While lowering to a new reduced level had already been carried out by the contractor at the eastern end of the cellar, and a quantity of Saxo-Norman Thetford-ware pottery sherds recovered, the area adjacent to the street frontage was still untouched. The bases of four pits were excavated as a result, which produced Late Saxon and Early Medieval pottery assemblages (S1-S3).
