Full Description

Close to the northern end of the trench a section of brick wall was visible in the western side of
the trench. There were three courses of double skinned wall present with a brick size of 0.08m by
0.25m in profile, although the length of the bricks could not be seen without dismantling the edge of
the trench. The bricks were mortared with pale yellowish-grey mortar, and were within a narrow
foundation cut. Where the bricks had been removed from the foundation cut, it was filled by
a loose mid to dark grey silt demolition deposit containing frequent inclusions of brick rubble
and charcoal. The wall appeared to run roughly parallel to the current western boundary wall. (1)
