Abstract:		 The Evaluation comprised 4 trenches that each measured 4m by 4m in plan. Trenches 1and 2 were located close to the site frontage onto Oak Street. In trench 1 gravel surfaces thought to be of Late Saxon date were recorded while in trench 2 the presence of post-holes indicated that Late Saxon structures, presumably buildings were present. A beaten earth floor revealed in this trench is also thought to be of Late Saxon date. Cutting these Late Saxon remains in trenches 1 and 2 were several pits of probable medieval date. In both these trenches, clay surfaces also of probable medieval date were present , though no associated structural features were identified. Overlying these surfaces were tips and dumps of soils interpreted as levelling up deposits. Post-medieval walls were present in both trenches,and a modern concrete beam recorded in trench 1. In trenches 3 and 4 natural gravel deposits were overlain by grey alluvial silts. Cutting these silts were medieval pits. The recovery from these pits of horn cores from sheep/goat and cattle is taken to indicate an industrial use, probably for the procurement of horn from the cores or other related activities such as tanning. The few datable artefacts recovered from these pits suggested that these pits were in use during the medieval period. Sealing these pits were layers of soils that seem to represent levelling up of previous ground levels. A wall of possible early post-medieval date was present in trench 4 and a series of floors were associated with this wall. Victorian structures present in these two trenches included a large circular tank in trench 4 and cellars and other walls in trench 3. Due to levelling and making up of the site, Late Saxon and medieval remains were present below a minimum 1m of modern overburden.
