669-1/1/10 (South side)
Wall along south side of Abbey Lane
II
Wall. Stretching 112m along S side of Abbey Lane and turning
for 25m at W end, bounding site of an Anglo-Saxon cemetery and
now containing C20 development. C19. Flint and erratics in
panels with red brick framing, deep upper brick band with
coping of cobbles. Approx 3m high, shaped up to keep height
towards W end. Original entrance gateway at NW corner with red
brick piers, each has upper cap-stone with ball. 3 further
openings cut through, simple garage entry with concrete lintel
towards E end. Two C20 arched entry ways in N-S stretch at W
end. Wall has continued S but now tapers rapidly to ground
where removed. The wall and Abbey Lane retain the line of a
principal road through and out of the medieval town and the
turn S follows the Repell Ditches or `magnum fossatum' of the
earlier C13.
