Cobbled surface uncovered at c.40cm deep, with sherds of Medieval pottery set within it. This was half sectioned (east section) and cobbled surface continued to a depth of 50cm, under which was a natural orangey-red clay layer. Tested to 60cm with no change. 33 sherds representing 28 vessels were recovered. The group is mixed and includes pottery of early medieval to early modern date, the earliest potentially of mid 12th to mid 13th century date. (1)
