Description
A 1m wide section of wall was recorded during trenching works at 0.9m below the surface. It consisted of courses of crumbly white/grey limestone rock, set in heavily degraded orange/buff coloured sandy mortar. Overlying it was a 0.2m layer of building rubble, lumps of buff lime mortar, fragments of white limestone, brick lumps and charcoal flecks. A dump of orange/brown clay with mortar, brick and occasional fragments of buff coloured roof tiles sealed the desposits below the top soil. (1)
