During excavations in 1988 in advance of an extension to the school, a very well-preserved stone-lined well dated to the mid second century was found, with an associated pit to the west, and metalling to the north. The well was 2.68m deep, and was found to have been relined in the late C3. Pottery from the fill of the well indicated that it went out of use in the mid C4. The well contained a considerable amount of waterlogged deposits which were sampled for analysis of the plant remains. Two phases of revetting and pathway abutted the east side of the well {1}. Dated C2.
