'This site lies on the W side of High Street and the N side of Applegate. It was excavated in January and February 1986. The ground sloped gently down from E to W. At the E and S end of the site, along High Street and Applegate, natural sand appeared on the surface. In the N part of the site natural sand was covered by a buried soil horizon and cut by a boundary ditch. The ditch fills contained white gritty ware and other medieval pottery. These were sealed by garden soil. W of these was a group of pits, medieval and modern.'
