Archaeology Notes

NJ90NW 224 939 083

A frontage site, which had been a garden for many years, on the W side of High Street, c.70m S of the supposed original site of the Mercat Cross (NJ90NW 6), was subject to a limited exploratory excavation. The area nearest the frontage had been disturbed by a modern deep sewer trench, but evidence of a cobbled yard dating to the 17th century was recovered. There was no sign that this area had been developed prior to that date.

J A Stones 1987.

Archive from the investigations has been catalogued. It consists of photographic material, drawings and manuscripts.
