Type and Period
Description
1995. Watching brief.
Observations made down two machine dug holes to a depth of about 3 metres at the rear of the building. Holes were too unstable to get down into, so observations made from the surface. The holes were up against the walls forming the north and west walls of the yard behind the Cock Pub. The north wall is also the southern boundary of the churchyard.
Above ground the wall is unremarkable modern brick. Below ground the holes revealed substantial well-made masonry footings on the same line, forming the footings of both walls. The masonry was of well-finished stone slabs. Against it was plenty of brick rubble (possibly from cellar infill of later date). Apart from this there were no finds. <1> <2>
