Full Description
NH64NE 170 6673 4524.
A watching brief was carried out when foundation pits were dug for a new building. A buried soil was noted possibly contemporary with the Mesolithic horizon from the Castle Street excavations in 1979 (NH64NE 104); 1.5m of medieval deposits were also recorded. These were backland midden-type deposits suggesting the present High Street frontage was not established until the end of the 15th century or later.
