The area behind the standing buildings formerly occupied by Potty Donald's paint shop and the Bond Bar, was being developed and the yard excavated for a beer cellar and car parking. Part of the site included the frontage on to the medieval Guestrow. Evidence of stake holes representing two sides of a medieval building were found, portions of probable post-medieval stone buildings on the frontage and under these large medieval pits partly underlying the Guestrow itself. Several hundred stake holes were found over the whole site, some indicating definite fence lines. Under the medieval deposits was a widespread and uniform clay and stone layer containing several hundred worked flints.
