Description
1990. Watching brief.
Post-medieval finds from two trenches dug to locate the supposed line of the town defences. A Roman mortared layer (EHER 13905) was sealed by two courses of flint walling which is undated but is probably contemporary with the rest of the flint wall which contains brick and is post-medieval. Finds include post-medieval pottery, tile, brick and clay pipe. <1>
