Description
January 2022. Archaeological excavation.
A single ditch and pit were excavated in the western area of the site and a north-south ditch was excavated at the eastern edge of the site. The location and direction of the eastern ditch appears to align with the existing Brights Path and may have formed part of a droveway providing access between the High Street and the river downhill. <1>
