During under pinning works carried out on a property north of the Minster a large deep feature was observed running approximately east to west, parallel with the road. This may be a ditch. There was a possible second ditch to the north. 10th century pottery was recovered from the lower fills of the large feature and mid 12th century pottery from the upper fills. This feature may be associated with the minster and abbey. A large quantity of Anglo-Saxon pottery has been recovered from the garden of this property. {1} This information was confirmed in 2014. The archaeological features here are very close to the present ground surface. {2}
