Permission was granted to demolish a delisted Georgian building with a monitoring condition. The site location coincides with the position of the town wall and ditch of the medieval town. The most significant finding from the monitoring was the remains of the town ditch, lying outside the construction site under Brown Street.
At the northern end of the site was a backfilled quarry, which was filled in before the demolished Georgian houses were constructed, and a roughly built limekiln was found in this backfilled area outside the boundary in the adjoining property. It is likely that this was in use and probably built exclusively to provide the lime mortar used at the time of the construction of the demolished structure.
