Full Description
Watching brief at Castle Inn, High Street. The site was visited after 1.8 x 1.75m Trench had been filled with concrete. 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.<1>
