Description
No evidence for archaeological deposits pre-dating the early post-medieval period was recorded during the evaluation. A large ditch or pit feature (oriented north-east - sout-west, parallel to the High Street) demonstrated utilisation of the site from the late 16th century, perhaps in the period before the neighbouring Black Lion public house was constructed. This is likely to have extended beyond the site boundary under the neighbouring pharmacy to the south west.
