The National Monuments Service's description
'Insula South' is an area of houses isolated from the street fronts of Peter St. and Lady Lane, and located inside the Viking bank and ditch (WA009-005006-). The remains were fragmentary because of disturbance caused by St Peter's graveyard and post-medieval activity in the area, but traces of four structures, including one pre-dating the Viking bank, and two sunken houses were recorded. (McCutcheon 1997b, 172-5)
