Full description
SOU 1247 (field evaluation in 2003):
[1]: The evaluation trenches were of limited extent and contained substantial modern foundations, which severely limited the areas available for investigation. Natural brickearth was revealed in limited areas. Two ditches were partially revealed although not investigated, cutting the natural brickearth. These were possibly the inner and outer town ditches, east of the line of the town wall.
