Description

{1} The footprint of the new building was excavated under archaeological supervision, and it was immediately clear that the area had been extensively terraced during the 20th century. A series of modern footings were revealed as well as a small undated feature that may have been the truncated remains of a medieval feature. No further archaeological remains were observed during work within the existing building. Map evidence shows that the plot within which the inn is situated may have been created from the combination of three medieval tenements. Site code: DSH03.
