Summary of results

A further section of the medieval slabbed surface exposed in 2006.The vertical stone in the bottom left corner is part of the cistern found in 2004.

Further work was carried out during the formation of house foundations following the work carried out in 2004. More of the high quality medieval stone surfaces were found including the floor of a building and a possible cobbled yard or street. The work showed that the medieval boundary of the site was not the present stone wall but about 2 metres closer to Cooks Row than at present – the stone floors continue under the present boundary wall. Medieval surfaces appear to exist outside the boundary and trial bores have also found an extensive area of waterlogged deposits.
