Full Description
{1}Doc;Noble & Butlin;1747;E of Swan St & S of St John's Terrace;shown as an orchard;
{2} Excavations demonstrated evidence for a sequence of land use, dating from the late 11th to 15th century, alternating between cultivation and low status, ephemeral settlement. This appears to indicate than an area of predominantly gardens or fields was from time to time used for temporary squatter settlement, in contrast to the permanent and more substantial buildings occupied to the north.
