The site was on one of the side streets leading off High Street. The street was described in the 17th century as having mud-walled thatched cabins on either side. The yard behind and to one side of the building where the extension is to be constructed was investigated. Three cuttings were opened. Remains of recent stone and brick structures were found, and a deep deposit of disturbed material containing fragments of brick, slate, and modern pottery. A few sherds of medieval pottery were found within this, and in one of the cuttings a deeper layer was found which contained a few sherds of medieval pottery and a piece of slag.
