What is recorded here

Archaeological testing (96E0141) at the rear of No. 121 South Main St., on the W side of the street and just S of Stonebridge Lane, uncovered a layer of midden material (L 5m plus; max. T 0.6m) that included bands of organic material but 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 row of three posts. A SW-NE stone-lined culvert that holds the Bishops Water Pill was adjacent to the SE. Midden (WX037-032025-) is c. 10m to the SW.
