Monument record 11068 - Medieval Cobbled Surfaces and Occupation Layer, Dee House Site

During the excavation of an extensive series of trial trenches carried out in advance of proposed redevelopment of the Dee House in 1993, evidence of a number of features of medieval date, located to the south of the amphitheatre, was recorded (1).

Trench 35 revealed a cobbled surface which overlay a thin band of occupation material above an earlier cobbled surface. Both these surfaces stopped abruptly in the centre of the trench, giving the impression that either later activity truncated them, or that they butted a structure no longer in evidence. The excavators stressed that both these interpretations were tentative (1).
