Plan showing location of trenches

The Society carried out archaeological recording here in 1955 and 1967, The remains of the 12th century town defences, 12th-14th century pottery kilns and a late 14th century stone structure were said to be found. The erection of a small extension in 2004 allowed the excavation of a small trench, but it was not possible to determine whether this would lie inside or outside the previous excavation. The excavation showed that immediately south of the 1955 building and east of the 1968 one, the ground is made up of loamy deposits with mixed pottery – no evidence of medieval structures, either the town defences or the pottery kilns, was found.
