The earliest deposits at the site appeared to be a dark soil, either representing an Anglo-Saxon soil, or an early medieval agricultural horizon. This soil appeared to pre-date St Paul's Church.
Two walls - one represented only through wall footings - were present at the site. One ran N-S and was comprised of flints set in mortar, forming the foundations of the wall and its construction trench (measuring at least 0.6m in width and 0.55m in depth). The other wall was a dwarf wall and ran E-W, and measured 0.3m in width and at least 0.5m in height. This wall was comprised of chalk block, flint, and stone. The walls have been interpreted as the walls of medieval properties adjacent to the church. Associated with one of the walls were floors, a peg-tile hearth, and occupation layers, suggested to originate from the same property. An examination of a 1572 AD map of the city suggests that these remains may have come from No 7 Ivy Lane, a building with the date of 1627 set in the external brickwork, but which is thought to date from an earlier period due to its timber frame.
Gravelled metalled surfaces excavated at the site were situated outside the medieval buildings, suggesting that they may have originated from a gravel yard or pathway to the rear of the houses and the church.
Other medieval features at the site include a refuse pit, probable medieval pits (one of which contained peg-tile), and a flint, stone, and clay wall, 0.2m in width and on the same alignment as the N-S wall.
A clay floor and a sequence of occupational layers excavated at the site are suggested to represent dwellings fronting Church Street St Paul's to the east. The occupation layers have been suggested to relate to post-medieval occupation at the site, potentially associated with buildings seen on a 1640 map of Canterbury.
Probable demolition deposits are also associated with this site. These were comprised of loose mortar containing broken roof tile, and may relate to the demolition of parts of the buildings or levelling for new floor levels.
Levelling deposits (some dating after the bombing of World War II) and shallow features of unknown function dating to the post-medieval period were excavated at the site, alongside a Victorian cess-tank made from red brick and a brick-lined drain. One of the features appears to have been an undated post-hole, 0.2m in diameter and 0.6m in depth, and a post-medieval pit containing 17th-19th century pottery. The cess-tank was thought to have been destroyed during the building of the vestry in 1847-1856. (1)
