Archaeological excavation in advance of development revealed evidence of occupation relating to the original establishment and settlement of the city of New Sarum in the early 13th c. Parts of several tenements were examined, with the differences in land use in each tenement being clearly defined. A medieval building aligned along the street frontage had at least three rooms and an extension to the rear that contained a cess pit. The building continued to be occupied in the later medieval period and examination of the contents of the cess pit of this period revealed much evidence of the sources of dietary material. Artefactual finds included metalwork, pottery, and ceramic building materials.
