Full Description
This building lay 14m north of wall 0169. Only the west end lay within the excavated area and it presumably continued eastward to Bridge Street. The west end had been removed by pipe trench 0063.
The south wall comprised a footing of septaria and some flint (0075), set into a craggy clay matrix, the southern edge of which had been robbed (0100) and backfilled with clayey loam. The north wall was represented by robbing trench 0085, backfilled with some septaria blocks, flint and chalk rubble.
A clay floor (0116), 15-20cm thick, incorporating many large cobbles, and burnt over much of its area, lay between the walls. A thinner band of clay (0084), also burnt in parts, overlay layer 0116, and was the only remnant of a re-flooring.
Assuming that the building was orientated east-west, it was 4.15m wide, by an undetermined length, and of timber framed construction on dwarf stone walls.The residue of a post hole (0503), in layer 0083, lying directly above footing 0075, appeared to be a rotted out post, filled with material derived from the later overburden.
Layer 0083, a dark brown clay loam with much charcoal, probably represented the residue of material associated with the building's demolition.
A linear trench (0105) cut the floor (0084) of the building. This, in turn, was cut by a pipe trench (0063), suggesting that the building had already fallen out of use by the time of its construction, (S1).
