Description

A watching brief was carried out by TSAC in 2001 on construction of flats in the western angle of the Potter Street/Victoria Road junction. Monitoring of residential development groundworks in the town centre revealed evidence for a substantial timber building of medieval date in the form of a post-pad and post-hole. Associated finds were dated to the 12th-14th century. (3)
