Description
Archaeological excavation by trial trenching due to financial limitations. A trench, 1 m wide was excavated at right angles to East Street on the assumption that the site would produce evidence of medieval building up to the street frontage. Lack of surviving evidence necessitated a second trench, 2 m wide, also dug by machine, across the centre of the site.
