Full Description

On the western edge of 60 East Street, evidence of an earlier phase of occupation was identified, in the form of a clay floor L19. Later occupation layers contained burnt material L16 and late 12th or early 13th century pottery. These layers lie within the 14th century open hall building but pre-date it, probably belonging to an earlier building.<1>
