Narrative
-
- A multi-phase deposit representing the collapse of wall (2004) over time. The deposit comprised smaller rubble from the core of the wall which was overlain at its eastern end by a build-up of soil, this in turn was overlain by tumbled facing stones also overlain by a soil accumulation. A spread of soil and small stones sealed the deposit. The collapse event was located down slope to the east of wall (2004) and overlay an accumulated occupation horizon (2007).

Dating Narrative
-
- A range of different wares and vessel types were recovered from demolition and abandonment debris, including local wares (type 1, 5, 7, including SF40), oxidised gritty glazed ware, and Tees Valley ware (type A). However, the pot assemblage was relatively small and much of the pottery assemblage was likely residual. It ranged in date from the mid-12th to 15th century AD. An iron whittle tang knife (SF42) dating circa AD1200-1400.
