Full Description
During excavations at Middleborough in 1979 (ECC335), the archaeological remains of a 14th century medieval timber-framed building (CAT Building 76) were recorded on the site of the later 'New Market Tavern' public house (MCC429).<1><2>
The building was obscure and not as clearly defined as the adjacent 14th building to the south (MCC426 = CAT Building 75), phase 1 defined only by several postholes and a hearth (indicated by a burnt patch of daub). Some of the mortared plinths assigned to a later building on the same site (MCC428) could have belonged to this earlier structure.<1>
Note that the report (CAR 3) has one building number for all buildings/phases on the site (CAT Building 76).
