The development of two houses and garages was proposed for this site, which lies within the area of the medieval borough. The site straddles the line of what may have been a north–south property boundary. Two trenches and two pits were opened. Topsoil lay immediately over a mottled stiff clay with a lot of decayed stone. In Trench 2 there was evidence for a lot of dumping of soil over the sod in modern times. Nothing of archaeological interest was exposed.
