As part of an archaeological impact assessment ahead of refurbishing the Post House, four small trenches were cut well back from the street front. A mortared boundary wall, from the early 18th or late 17th century, was found running back from the street, associated with a substantial raising of the ground. Under the infill (c. 0.9m below present ground level) a stone pavement and whitewashed cob building were found; beneath these (c. 1.1m below present ground level) clay floors and the stump of a clay-bonded wall were observed. The remains are interpreted as buildings beside a medieval/post-medieval lane running back from Gladstone Street.
