Summary
An archaeological evaluation revealed only post medieval pits and a posthole and perhaps a pond. This probably indicates that when the ground was lowered to form the bowling green all archaeological evidence for the medieval town was destroyed.

Full description

Revealed only pits and a posthole, and perhaps a pond containing post medieval building material. Probably indicates that lowering of ground level to form bowling green had removed archaeological layers.
