Monument record TR 15 NE 1455 - Anglo-Saxon occupation, St George's Clocktower

Summary

The Roman levels were overlain by a dark earth indicating a period of abandonment and yielding much residual Roman pottery. In the Canterbury Lane trench a loose courtyard metalling sealed this soil. This surface predated a number of 10th century pits. Traces of a possible building flanked the eastern side of the metalling and also seemingly dating to the 9-10th centuries.
