The evaluation was carried out in June 1998 prior to development at the rear of 25 Cattle Market, Sandwich. Only two features of interest were observed, the first is a wall foundation with extant first course of bricks of early 18th century manufacture. In the south-west corner of the plot a section of wall in the same brick has survived and been incorporated as part of an early 19th century house. The second feature is a foundation of chalk rubble about 1.5m wide. Showing in section above this was a truncated section of robber trench, just above which was a glazed sherd from a large crock dateable to 1600-1650. It is possible that this second feature is a part of a medieval building, perhaps St. Thomas' Hospital(1).
