Full Description
Archaeological evalaution and monitoring revealed evidence for the long term occupation of this street which was part of the original Norman town grid pattern. 12th-14th features including pits and a well, were found in the backs of the properties, along with many later pits. Closer to the road there was evidence of a continuous 17th century street frontage. The 17th century ground surface was located approximately 1m below the present ground level resting on natural chalk (S1)(S2).
