Full Description

1977: Saxon Pits, circa 10m back from frontage. Saxon? Ditch along pavement edge. (S1, S3)

Previous archaeological knowledge of this part of the town was limited to the redevelopment of Debenhams, (lying directly to the east of IAS 0703, IPS 297), in 1977. A total redevelopment of this major area of the town had been undertaken with only the briefest chance to excavate. (S2)

Kept as a separate monument to differentiate from Medieval Cemetary (IPS 781, formerly a duplicate of IPS 170)
