Another of the archaeologists on the site, Graham Heyburn, said the find was impressive because of the wide range of material gathered. "My most memorable find was a key - this was an unusual find," he added.

The artefacts uncovered are displayed at the Environment and Heritage Services' office, yards from the dig and illustrate the variety of material found.  It includes fragments of pottery dating from the 16th and 17th Century as well as everyday implements such as a fan, a hairbrush and coins.
