Two small trenches were cut into the burgage plot behind 100 Main Street, to test ahead of a two-storeyed extension. A well was found c. 15m from the street front, probably inside a 16th/17th-century building, and contemporary ditches and platforms further back suggest domestic or industrial activity (rather than cultivation). There was little indication of earlier occupation, and the site appears to have been used as a garden in the late 17th/18th century, before being overbuilt in the late 18th/19th century.
The 17th/18th-century level was not disturbed during excavation for a raft foundation and drain.
