It is unlikely that there is anything to see unless this event took place on a site (see link above) where there may be details of access. Otherwise please assume that the site is on private land. [Information last updated on 21 May 2003]

Details:

Proposed development of the area was preceeded by three trial trenches. Two, along side an existing boundary wall, revealed evidence for three successive building phases (C15, C16, and post-C16). Remains of a C15-C16 building and possible floor surface were noted alongside the wall. Small amounts of medieval and post-medieval pottery and animal bones were recovered. {1}
