Watching brief at Castle Inn, High Street. The site was visited after a 1.8 x 1.75m trench had been filled with concrete. The workmen informed CAT that 3-4 skeletons (three skulls and the remains of one other) had been removed by the Police on 2/11/85, apparently buried haphazardly on an east-west axis. Mark Davies observed a robber trench which looked to be the precinct wall; he also noted the sand was very high up on the north side, though this may have been the rampart. On 18/11/85 four other trenches were dug to a depth of about 1m and showed in section about 40cm of modern disturbance with dark earth below this. At the east end of trench B was an area of mortared wall foundation, composed of pieces of septaria and tile, possibly the precinct wall. Also noted in the bottom of trench E was traces of red sandy material also observed in Trench F. This appears to be related to a medieval clay floor; this floor was burnt on the east side and had a thin occupation layer on the surface. The burnt area seemed to be a hearth. The floor was sandwiched in the dark earth suggesting a medieval date. A section of Roman wall was observed in Trench G (east-west); this was composed of tile and set in opus signinum. <1>
