Summary

A line of five sandstone blocks were recorded during excavations in 2018 off Grosvenor Park Road. Directly above the sandstone blocks was a single course of nineteenth century unfrogged red bricks. Nineteenth century lime mortar and modern cement mortar was observed on both the blocks and bricks.
