Notes about this historic site
1 A trench was dug in the garden of 3 The Butts to try to locate the Medieval town ditch. The ditch was not located. A large quarry of 13th century date was found to extend across the whole area. This implies that the ditch was elsewhere.
2 A watching brief in 2005 noted the quarry to the rear of 7 The Butts which again extended across the whole site. A sherd of medieval pottery was found in one of the fills.
3 Further report on fieldwork carried out under 2.
