Description
In December 2002 Oxford Archaeology carried out a field evaluation at 4 South Street. It revealed a pit of probable 15th century date, a post medieval property boundary or garden ditch and several post medieval domestic rubbish pits (B1).
Historic maps show the site as backlands to properties fronting Pound Street in 1620, with buildings fronting onto South Street on the site by 1768. Traces of possible buildings platforms of these 2 buildings survivied as slight earthworks on the site (B2).
