Description

Evaluation trial trenching carried out by John Moore Heritage Services in May 2001 identified a substantial 17th century yard surface comprising a number of make up layers, with evidence of repairs, overlying a 16th century cultivation layer and silt deposits in an area of 'backlands' to the rear of Frogmoor. 19th century footings of a large building were thought to represent the remains of a building shown on the 1875 and 1925 25-inch OS maps. The evaluation failed to identify any remains of the medieval borough boundary ditch, medieval property boundaries or backyard occupation due to the extent of the post-medieval activity (B1).
