- Underlying the modern overburden lay (1586), a capping layer back fill of early 19th / late 18th c. horncore lined soakaway {1598} that was built into construction cut [1587]. The horn core pit itself contained (1664), a moist organic fill, and (1688), a loose dark brownish grey silty clay with frequent tile and brick fragments, and occasional oyster shell, chalk nodules, and frequent charcoal flecks, indicating that (1688) was a dump of building rubble and domestic waste. Construction cut [1587] was dug into (1758), the fill of linear cut [1759].
