On 10 July two small cuttings were mechanically excavated at the rear of the AIB bank. The site lies within the medieval town, on the seaward side of Main St. and immediately above the suggested line of the medieval shore. Stratified midden deposits had accumulated over estuarine gravel. The pottery recovered from the midden ranged from the 13th to the 17th century. There was no evidence of buildings associated with the midden. The area was built on in the late 18th/early 19th century, represented by a stump of a mortared stone wall and clay flooring.
