Other finds included a small quantity of glass bottle fragments, five pieces of slag, nine fragements of animal remains including a pig incisor, and oyster shells. A number of prehistoric worked flint flakes were also found amongst the post medieval contexts. Additionally, a small quantity of apparently Victorian and Modern household refuse was recovered (S1).
