Description
1988. Archaeological excavation.
Trench A revealed many post-medieval features which had caused damage to earlier phases. The features consisted entirely of pits and post holes spread over the whole area. No definite pattern could be distinguished and it was assumed that these relate to structures fronting onto Sandpit Road. Several walls and a cellar from a series of Victorian cottages also survived. Trench B revealed a single ditch representing a property boundary. <1> <2>
