Full Description
In 2008 Compass Archaeology carried out an evaluation. Evidence was found relating to 17th century brick making on the site in the form of quarries, firing and waster disposal. The proximity to Restoration House lead to suggestions that the bricks produced on this site could have been specifically for works undertaken in the 1650s and 1660s. (1)
