A single evaluation trench (1.5m by 1m) was hand-dug in advance of the construction of an new extension. <1> The archaeological sequence exposed was as follows: The top 30cm had been stripped off by contractors before the trench was excavated by hand. Below this was Layer or L1, a layer of disturbed topsoil (covered by modern flagstones). L1 sealed L2, a dumped clay layer containing modern brick and peg-tile. L2 sealed L3, a dark silty clay layer which was originallyRoman but had been disturbed by root activity. L3 lay on top of a Roman mortar floor (Feature or F1) which was also cut by F2 and F3, a small and large pit respectively. The mortar floor sloped slightly, and was at 1.25m below modern ground. There was no excavation of Roman levels below the mortar floor F1. F3 was a cess-pit, judging by its fill. It was excavated to 1.75m below modern ground, but not bottomed. Finds from F3 suggest that it was open and in use in the 13th or 14th century.
