Excavations in advance of development took place between March and April 1981. No trace of any surviving street frontage deposits were recovered. Evidence of substantial backland activity was located 40m back from the High Street. Several pits and a beam slot were excavated. These features produced pottery of a 14th century date. A fragment from Scarborough ware aquamanile in the form of a horse's head was recovered from an unstratified layer.
