Full Description

During an archaeological excavation carried out on the site in 2015 three post-Medieval constructions were observed in the western area of the excavation site. These were a ditch, a structure, and a wall. The ditch was observed between the two other features, and contained ceramic material of post-medieval date. Both the structure and the wall were formed of a single course of bricks with mortar.
The ditch was aligned north-south and was 5m wide and the fill contained brick and ceramic material of post-Medieval date. The structure consisted of a single course of bricks that were rounded on the southern extent and covered with a layer of mortar. It was aligned north-south and was 1.7m wide. The full extent of this structure was not excavated as it extended beyond the excavation area. The wall was also aligned north-south and was 0.3m wide. It extended beyond to the north, and consisted of a single course of bricks bound with mortar. (1)
