The National Monuments Service's description

Excavation (98E0091) by J. Wren following an assessment by S. McCutcheoun (97E0137) at 9, Arundel Sq. produced evidence of a sill-beam house (L 7.3m plus E-W) which may be 12th century in date. Later in the 12th or early 13th century an earthen bank (Wth 8.6-9.5m; int. H 1.4m) was built on the line of the 13th century city wall, and a section of wall (T 0.8m) was recorded which was dug into the bank. Soils accumulated inside the bank, and a stone-lined cess-pit was excavated partly through the bank. This was closed in the mid 13th to 14th century. (Wren 2000)
