Description

{1} An area of land comprising some 1350sqm located on gently sloping ground 40m east of High Street was investigated prior to the proposed construction of flats. Trial excavation indicated that the southern half of the area was largely devoid of features and a watching brief showed this extended almost to Hill Street. A greater density of features was encountered to the north of the property boundary between 9 and 11 Hill Street, with a variety of boundary ditches and gullies and intercutting pits and postholes exposed.
