Test Pit 17 had approximately 30cm of overburden underlying the turf, with a compact orangey-red clay layer directly underneath at c.30-35cm depth. A compact stone/cobble surface was uncovered directly below this layer, appearing to run in a band approximately 45-50cm wide and in a north-west/south-east direction. A small post-hole was noted in the south-east corner of the pit, approximately 13cm in diameter and 10cm deep. Frequent charcoal flecks and pieces were noted within the clay surface. The cobbled surface was recorded and half sectioned (southern section of it) and a total depth of c.42cm was noted. Directly underneath the surface a sherd of green-glazed pottery was recovered, and the natural orangey-red clay was uncovered at c.42cm. This was tested to a depth of 60cm, no change and no further artefacts recovered. 39 sherds representing 33 vessels were recovered of which most are of post medieval to early modern type. Ten of the vessels are of medieval date. (1)
