The rubble fill and foundations of1950’s building

The site is close to, but not on, the alignment of the medieval stream called the Damyet and is within a block of land forming the precinct of the Dominican Friary. Close by, in the 18th and 19th centuries, stone coffins and burial urns were uncovered. The foundation trench showed that the present 1950s building had damaged any intact archaeology. The lowest strata of the trench contained a mix of pottery dating from the medieval period through to the 19th century has taken place.
