Description

NRHE data transfer: Watching brief undertaken during the construction of an extension to the property. Although no archaeological features were observed, a considerable amount of backfilled material was found, which seemed to be too great to relate to the construction of the cellared buildings on Castle Street. It was therefore suggested that this backfill may have related to the town defensive ditch.
