Full Description
{1} Two layers of heavily worn road metalling had survived the lower surface was comprised of small pieces of limestone and cobbles and the upper suface was of larger pieces of ironstone and limestone. The earlier road ran directly eastward on the line of the present Green Street and so appears to define the origin of this street as the approach to an 11th century western town gate (1160/2/4). The later road continued the same line, but extended further southward.
