![TP1, TP2 and TP3, closer to the Hillga te street frontage, produced finds and features ranging from the medieval to the later post-medieval periods. The pottery found in TP1 is of late 17" to early 19" century origin and appears to have been de suggested by frequent charcoal inclusi [104] clearly post-dates pit [106], th pottery from the silty-clay matrix in w posited as waste, either in shallow waste pits or a midden, as ons and animal bone fragments with the pottery sherds. While pit e two are chronologically similar. TP2 produced later medieval hich the cobbles of a surface (206) were bonded. Cobbled surface (206) therefore likely represents a medieval feature, possibly some form of hardstanding or yard surface, but potentially the floor of a street known as Hillgate, and might re building. Both TP1 and TP2 appear close to the original line of the flect activity on the street frontage.

![Symbols representing structures on the north side of Hillgate are present on Haiwarde’s 1604 survey of Morpeth, Armstrong’s Northumberland map of 1769 and on Wood’s 1826 town plan. When TP1-TP3 are projected onto Wood’s 1826 plan, both TP1 and TP2 line up fairly closely with the buildings of the street frontage. Projection of the locations of TP1, TP2 and TP3 onto the much larger-scale OS Town Plan of 1859 shows a similar location for TP1 and TP2, along the buildings of the street frontage, some of which were newly-built after that 1826 date of Wooad’s plan, although the pits in TP1 and the surface in TP2 are likely to predate the buildings of the street front at this time. TP3 produced two walls, with [307] abutting wall [308]. When viewed from above, their join is oblique rather than right-angled, and their thicknesses are not quite the same, making it plausible that they were not built at the same time and instead represent a rearward extension onto an existing building in the back-plots of Hillgate. Projection of the location of this test-pit onto the 1826 Wood’s map and the 1859 OS Town Plan seems to support this location, with TP3 sited towards the southern end of a rearward extension of the third or fourth property (depending upon the divisions of plots) along Hillgate. Assuming this projection is no more than a couple of metres out, it appears that walls [307] and [308] represent walls from successive extensions south of a building on Hillgate (highlighted in orange in Illus. O7 above), with wall [307] theoretically representing the south wall of the first extension and [308] theoretically representing the west wall of a second southward extension, perhaps explaining the angle formed by the two walls.](https://figures.academia-assets.com/119104301/figure_088.jpg)
