A section of ditch was revealed during archaeological works carried out in association with the construction of the new primary school in 2002. The ditch, which was aligned north-south, may be a former property boundary. No boundary is shown in this location on the 19th century Tithe Map and the ditch may, therefore, be of medieval date.

A north-south aligned ditch was found during an archaeological evaluation at Haywards School in 2002. The ditch formed the boundary between two tenements. John Norden's map of 1598 shows a row of houses along the south side of East Street. No datable finds were recovered from the ditch fill but the presence of coal suggests that it is probably post-medieval.
