At the Old Post Office site, a sub-circular pit was excavated at the base of Trench 1 which contained a small assemblage of unabraded medieval pottery, dating this feature to the 14th or 15th century. Trench 2 contained a sub-square cesspit/soakaway constructed of faced stone bonded with a very soft, grey-yellow lime mortar, which contained isolated flecks of coal. The composition of this lime mortar suggests a construction date of the late 18th century or early 19th century, however, the artefactual evidence recovered from the fill of this
feature suggest that it did not go out of use until sometime in the late 20th century.
