What is recorded here

Pre-development excavations in 3-15 Hammond Lane/161-168 Church Street revealed a series of banks and ditches representing river defences. The primary fill of one of the ditches produced calibrated radiocarbon dates that range from AD 1010-1160. Pottery from both the upper layers of the bank and ditch dated from the 12th/13th century. Between the banks were several lines of stake-holes which formed rectangular boxes (Cryerhall, A, 2006, 136 in Excavations 2003).

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
