Full Description
The wall foundation measured c.400-550mm wide and was cut into natural. It was identified again in a spur to the trench. The depth below ground level is not given. A small fragment of foundation was also found loose within the trench and had probably been disturbed during the construction of drainage trenches for the 1930s school buildings.
