A four-week excavation was carried out in October 2005. The proposed hotel extension was located to the side and rear of an existing hotel, along Strong’s Court and Parnell Street. The excavation uncovered two main structural phases from the late 18th or early 19th century onwards. Artefacts recovered dated from the late 18th century onwards. A single sherd of medieval pottery from the Saintonge region in France was the only artefact from the medieval period recovered.
