1 A watching brief was carried out to observe terracing and the cutting of foundation trenches in connection with an extension to the rear of the existing building. The deposits contained occasional hand made roof tile and brick of possible 18th century or earlier date but no other artefacts of pre 19th century manufacture. A sandstone wall 0/80m wide was recorded, aligned east-west which followed the southern boundary of the former (originally medieval) tenement, but is likely to represent the remains of the malt house marked on a map of 1851.

Description  
period Medieval 1066 AD to 1539 AD (the 11th century AD to the 16th century AD)

The medieval period comes after the Saxon period and before the post medieval period.

The Medieval period begins in 1066 AD.
This was the year that the Normans, led by William the Conqueror (1066 – 1087), invaded England and defeated Harold Godwinson at the Battle of Hastings in East Sussex.
The Medieval period includes the first half of the Tudor period (1485 – 1603 AD), when the Tudor family reigned in England and eventually in Scotland too.

The end of the Medieval period is marked by Henry VIII’s (1509 – 1547) order for the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the years running up to 1539 AD. The whole of this period is sometimes called the Middle Ages.
