Three trenches tested this site. All yielded evidence for the demolition, in the 1940s, of a public house. In all cases the rubble overlay a grey-brown, sticky clay with charcoal and brick inclusions, which may have been the original garden soil. This clay produced sherds of 18th-century pottery. The clay layer became finer and inclusion-free through depth, although in Trench 2 it produced charcoal staining and a sherd of green-glazed medieval pottery. There were some remnants of stone wall footings, again probably associated with the old pub building. The east end of Trench 1 was totally disturbed by a large pit of 1980s building rubble.
