Type and Period
Description
1984. Trial trenching.
Trial trench excavated in advance of office development, at rear of this property, to a maximum depth of 1.5m. Though the site is close to the Dominican Priory (see EHER 5875) no archaeological features were forthcoming and no finds were made earlier than a few late 15th-early 16th century potsherds. The trench was flooded by water at a depth of 0.8m and it seems that the area was not built on in medieval times. <1> <2>
