Full Description
NH64NE 149 6671 4522
A watching brief was carried out during redevelopment of a site on the SE corner of Castle Street and High Street at the centre of the medieval burgh. The area had been largely destroyed by Victorian cellarage except to the E, where some 2m of archaeological deposits were recorded in the section formed by the cellar walls. A few pieces of pottery from the upper layers were of late 13th early 14th century date. The layers of sand and gravel interspersed with layers of burning, burnt clay and midden material were reminiscent of the deposits revealed in excavations of the adjacent property (see NH64NE 104).
G Harden 1987.
