This project consisted of a major archaeological watching brief and excavation programme, conducted across an extensive part of the maritime and water-front areas of this important historic town, ahead of major road construction and sewer trenching, between the summer of 1991 and the spring of 1993. There were 21 areas of archaeological investigation: the 21st was the junction of Woolcomber Street with Townwall Street below Castle cliffs, in front of presumed line of Medieval town wall.

Traces of significant stratified Medieval occupation deposits, together with some masonry of a similar date, were recorded in the area of the Woolcomber Street/Townwall Street junction. (1)
