The track bed excavations revealed a large pit at the centre of Middle Street, in front of the Star Inn. The pit measured 2.04m x 1.42m in plan, with steep sides leading to a narrow concave base, 1.47m deep. The majority of the feature had been filled by grey brown fragments, to a depth of 1.05m. This was overlain by a deposit which comprised orange brown sandy silt with occasional stones and charcoal to a depth of 0.11m. Both deposits contained fragments of pottery dated to between 1350 and 1500AD. The upper fill contained a single sherd of 14th century Nottingham Reduced Green lazed jug.

Located close to the Middle Street, Station Road was poartially exposed pit. Broadly oval shape in plan, excavation revealed moderately steep sides and a concave base, 2.3m x 1.38m x 0.8m. It contained a single depoist of greyish brown clay sand. Recovered from this depoist was a moderate amount of faunal remains, and some 19th century artefacts indicating that this was probably a rubbish pit.
