Monument record 1160/3/36 - Medieval/Post Medieval Defensive Bank

{1} The remains of a clay and earth bank which formed part of the medieval defences was excavated and recorded in section. Four soil samples taken from the bank were assessed. Small numbers of mollusca were present in all four samples, some indicate flowing water. The assemblages suggest that the bank is constructed with mixed terrestrial deposits and possible alluvial deposits.
