The National Monuments Service's description
Archaeological testing (03E0489) on the probable line of the quay walls produced redeposited natural soils over a dark brown silty clay that was probably riverine and produced an assembly of medieval pottery including Saintonge, Redcliffe, and local wares. A stone-lined drain that was probably 17th century in date was also recorded. (Noonan 2006)
