Full Description
At the southern end of the trench, a large pit or, more likely, a backfilled cellar, both comprised brick rubble mixed with large amount of mortar and worked stone. There was no clear horizon between the two deposits, with the only difference being that the upper fill contained a higher amount of silt mixed in with the rubble. It is probable that they were part of the same backfill event, but that one area of the backfill material contained a larger
amount of topsoil. The dressed stone recovered from the deposits was undiagnostic limestone that had been sawn. The largest piece, measuring 0.42m x 0.39m x 0.19m in size is possibly a gatepost pivot, although the piece is too damaged to be certain. (1)
Likely related to former House of Corrections and possibly backfilled during conversion to Lace Factory. (1)
