Excavation of a utilities trench to the NW of the Middle Street and Station Road junction revealed a circular brick structure. The structure was built from curved red bricks (240mm x 120mm) within a sub-circular cut, measuring at least 1.68m in diameter. The internal diameter of the structure was 0.8m, and the exterior had been sealed usin a deposit of blue grey clay indicating an intention to waterproof the structure. The remainder of the construction cut was backfilled using orange sand.

Additional 19th century structures were located to the south of the junction, close to the White Lion pub as a number f red brick walls were revealed indicating the locations of several former cellars. One cellar was constructed using a single thickness of brick (each 220mm x 110mm x 80mm), creating a cellar 1.9m wide and at least 6 courses high. The backfill of the cellar was a dark grey brown silty sand, containing frequent fragments of CBM and numerous sherds of 19th century pottery.

Although not revealed during the excavations, it is unlikely that the cellar continues to the NE, ro that an adjacent cellar was present as utilities trench to the north revealed brick steps leading to this area. The bricks used measured 220mm x 110mm x 70mm, and created a stairway 0.85m wide and 0.46m deep. It is possible that this was related to a further wall - this wall was observed on a NE-SW alignment, to a height of 1m using an Englis Cross style bond, two bricks wide (0.32m)

To the SE of the junction, within Station Road, a wall was observed on a NW-SE orientation. It too was constructed using red bricks (220mm x 1100mm x 80mm), although the bonding pattern was English Garden Wall. It was preserved to a depth of 0.5m with a wifth of 0.22m and at least 0.65m in length. A later, abutting deposit contained several sherds of late 19th century and early 20th century pottery. The most significant of which was a Grimwade pie dish, which dates no earlier than 1908.

Approximately 7m to the NE of the NW-SE wall were further foundations, represented by a structure. This wall was algined NW-SE and had been partially truncated by modern services, but the remains measured 0.38m wide and at least 0.28m deep. It was constructed with a foundation trench which cut through two deposits. The bricks were similar to those used nearby, ech measuring 240mm x 110mm x 80mm.
