Full Description

Within the trench excavated through the pedestrianised shopping area, four separate wall foundations were observed. Located as they were within a narrow, machine excavated trench, it was not possible to determine their precise orientations or what type of structure they were associated with. However, all four walls were constructed usig red bricks, measuring 220mm x 110mm x 80mm. The bonding pattern was not discernable, but a light grey sandy mortar was used in the construction of the walls. None of these four walls were exposed to their full depth, each exceeding at least 0.35m in height.
