Full Description
Post Medieval remains excavated before rebuilding after a fire in 1953 included a C17 pit and pottery and food bones from * up the filling of the Norman castle ditch. These must predate the first houses on the site - c.1680. The pottery is c.1650 onwards and Hull suggests the deposit is connected with the siege of 1648. <1>
