Monument record 3980/0/60 - Remains of post-medieval/modern buildings

Observation of development recorded walls and floors of former 18th and 19th century buildings extending back from Whiteman Lane

{1} Archaeological monitoring during groundworks on the site revealed remnants of foundations for a former building, including some standing walls. It is likely that the building remains recorded during the investigation are part of the row of structures shown on the north side of the road on maps of 1812 and later.

The finds retrieved from the parking area were mostly of later post-medieval in date comprising a
small quantity of 17th to 19th century artefacts and a single sherd of unstratified 12th to 13th century pottery retrieved as essentially unstratified material.

Re-used dressed stone in a stone wall included a chamfered plinth that may have originated from the medieval priory to the north.
