Three trenches were excavated on this site, which is directly outside of the medieval walled town and within several metres of the West Gate to the town. The area being developed is small, c. 6m by 8m, and ground reduction will be minimal on the site. A backfilled basement was located in the north-eastern part of the site, and thus no archaeological deposits survived here. Seventeenth-century deposits were revealed at a height of 17.73m OD. Medieval pottery was recovered but was from a previously disturbed deposit and associated with 18th- and possibly 19th-century finds. Additional work will be required should development proceed.
