NT 2699 7649 A field evaluation was undertaken adjacent to the known 18th-century dry-dock (NT27NE 121) to the N of a previously investigated area (Collard 1992). Three trial trenches were excavated to the S of the dry-dock S wall to determine if the footings of the structure impinged on the site. Any earlier deposits in the northern and southern trenches were truncated by 19th/20th-century buildings. In the central trench, substantial medieval deposits were observed, and related to deposits recorded in 1992; no evidence was seen of any structure relating to the dry-dock impinging on the site.
