Description
Total development of this shop site provided an opportunity to investigate an area of the town where hitherto there had been no excavations. The street frontage proved to be occupied by a cellar which had been infilled in the 19th century. Its back wall was built of flint, with levelling courses of roof tile, and is provisionally dated to the 15th to 16th centuries. The rear of the site was occupied by extensive barrel-vaulted cellars.
