Test Pit 4 had approximately 20cm of overburden underlying the turf, with a brown clay layer directly underneath. This became a red-brown clay with occasional cobble inclusions at approximately 30cm deep. A cobbled surface was exposed at a depth of c.50cm, comprising pebbles, cobbles and stone, and this sloped towards the southern end of the pit. Pebbles, cobbles and stones has been inserted into the clay, but were quite patchy. Finds included pottery sherds and half of a copper alloy ring, possibly a loop fastener or belt fitting. 27 sherds representing 26 vessels were recovered. 18 of the vessels are of medieval, mainly 13th to early/mid 14th century date. The only examples of early modern date are two sherds from a flower pot. (1)
