Eleven sherds of medieval pottery were found, probably of 12th to 13th century in date. The sherds are of west country, but not local, origin. Pottery,and also the discovery of some lumps of iron slag, was contemporary with the foundation of the new town in 1194 and 1217. May indicate an industrial suburb either planned or of an ad hoc nature.

Archaeological recording in 2000 prior to residential development revealed several features which produced medieval pottery dating from 11th to 14th century. The sherds were probably washed downslope from an occupation site to the northeast.
