Erick Street, 18thC buildings

This building was found during archaeological investigations in 2022 prior to the redevelopment of the site (report 2024/24). It consisted of two rooms which contained deposits very similar to those found to the south (HER19142). These contained very small fragments of exclusively medieval pottery and a possible early medieval sceatta coin. The upper deposits included later artefacts. The building was constructed from sandstone blocks which were squared and square coursed to the north, but more roughly hewn and laid to the east, south and west. The ground level had been built up during the construction of the buildings. The west room had a floor surface of stone paving slabs. The building was modified in the 19th century. A number of boundary walls and small structures lay to the south.
