What this record tells us
A 1993 watching brief at Greyhound Yard recorded medieval and post-medieval deposits. Animal, fish and bird bones and plant remains from pits provided evidence of domestic refuse and food.
The environmental material is documented in Buteux’s assessment, which cites Napthan 1993 and Pearson 1993. The individual contexts and original trench plan should be retained when expanding the record. The town-centre coordinate is not the position of a particular pit.
