Monument record 10678 - Medieval Stone-Lined Pit, 1 Abbey Green

During rescue excavations in the garden of 1 Abbey Green, beginning in 1975, the presence of a stone-lined pit of medieval date was recorded (6). The pit cut into a Roman building, removing any internal deposits there. While the Roman and Saxon period remains from this site are well published, this is the only information available on this medieval feature (1 - 6) .
