Full Description
2016: Evaluation recorded two or more substantial intercutting/ adjoining pits, infilled with a deposit containing late medieval and post-medieval material. The upper fill contained material indicative of activity in the area during the 15th-16th century and possibly suggests the presence of a kiln in the settlement. The position of the site, to the rear of buildings fronting onto Church Street, suggests that these pits lay in the rear gardens/yards, on the edge of the medieval and post-medieval settlement (S1).
2017: Subsequent monitoring of the same area did not identify any other significant features. However, two large depressions, probably former clay extraction pits, that were probably backfilled in the 19th century were recorded (S2).
