Description
Monitoring of demolition of a retaining wall fronting Castle Street exposed chalk bedrock immediately to the north of the house. Major post-medieval landscaping and disturbance had taken place and removed any medieval deposits which might have been present. Two shallow pits/gullies cut into the chalk were exposed, but no medieval material was recovered from their fills.
