Full Description

This ditch ran in a curve for 12m across the north-western corner of the excavated site. It ran south-west from the edge of the excavated site, 12m east of Foundation Street, and terminated at the east wall of building 2368, which either cut it or was contemporary with it. It was 2.7m wide and 1.5m deep with fairly steep sides and a flat bottom.
The ditch cuts EMED pit 2509 and building 2486. The fill of ditch 2456 had a similar pottery assemblage to building 2386, including London Glazed ware but no Ipswich Glazed ware, indicating that it was also finally filled in the 13th century, prior to c.1270, but earlier than building 2468, if it is cut by it, or contemporary if they abutt each other, (S1).
