Description
{1} Excavations revealed that the site was very much truncated by post-medieval activity, though sparse archaeological features dated back to the 12th/14th century (including features such as ditches, pits and post holes) survived. This was succeeded by the construction of two buildings during the 19th century. The historic tenement boundaries were found to have remained little changed over the last 250 years, and probably reflect the original 12th/13th century layout of plots in the expanding medieval planned town.
