Archaeological investigations at Volunteer Street in 2013 identified possible evidence of medieval activity tentatively interpreted as backyard activity associated with plots fronting onto Park Street.

The evidence from trench 2 comprised a single disturbed deposit [context 217] containing mixed Roman to post medieval finds.

The deposit was tentatively interpreted by the archaeological contractor as a possible medieval cultivation soil to the rear of burgage type plots due to a 'slight curve' seen in the west facing section of the trench.
