    • Mid brown clay layer, predominantly composed of broken and crushed CBM, including brick and roof tile fragments dating to the late medieval to early post-medieval periods, concentrated in the eastern part of the trench, with diffuse boundaries into adjacent deposits (5009 & 5007). Slag, modern glass and a small piece of oyster shell also recovered.

    • CBM report by Rebekah Pressler - "Of further interest are a group of partially reduced roof tiles and a single brick from this layer. All of which date to the Late Medieval period. Four of the tiles and the brick fragment exhibit signs of burning or signifying they may have been re-used for a later hearth or fireplace"
