Description

An archaeological watching brief was carried out during the digging of a trench for a lift-shaft. Part of a late medieval brick culvert and wall with buttress were observed. The bricks to both features were 45mm thick and 105mm wide, which makes them likely to be 15th or 16th century. <1>
