Full Description
Small cluster of septaria noted within a feature which had been largely destroyed. The stones were unbonded but most contained residual traces of mortar and thus appeared to be re-used. The immediate area also contained a light scatter of disturbed septaria lumps and small fragments of peg-tile. The feature appeared to be structural and if linear may be part of a wall foundation aligned north-south. The presence of peg-tile, if directly associated, would suggest a 14th century or later date for any quayside building at this location.<1>
