Excavations in advance of a housing development were carried out between February and April 1985. A possible corn dryer was located at the back of the plot 52m S of the Market Street frontage. The badly damaged remains of a stone floor and clay bonded walls were located in this feature. The other features included a possible well, a property boundary running S from Market Street and a pit. The possible corn dryer produced a piece of red painted Pingsdorf ware pottery of 12th Century date amongst a group of White Gritty wares. A small assemblage of White Gritty wares was recovered from the rest of the site coming in the main from trucated layers of garden soil similar to those encountered on NO51NW 59.
