What is recorded here

Archaeological testing (96E0141) at the rear of No. 112 South Main St., on the W side of the street and just S of Stonebridge Lane, uncovered the top of a layer of midden material which produced no ceramic or other artefacts. It was immediately beneath a layer that produced 17th century pottery but overlay a sterile grey/black sandy layer that in turn overlay a number of stakes which support a plank (Wth 0.2m; T 3cm), probably one of a line of planks. A SW-NE stone-lined culvert that holds the Bishops Water Pill was adjacent to the SE. Midden (WX037-032024-) is c. 10m to the NE.
