Full Description
2016: An archaeological evaluation revealed a scorched surface and stone pad that had clearly been associated with in-situ heating. It is like that this feature was the remains of a domestic oven or hearth. It is possible that the feature was situated in a structure for which there was no evidence remaining. Fragments of stone, including a window mullion, were recovered from the site. It is likely that the stone is from ruined medieval structures in the town (S1).
