This group of features comprising an irregularly shaped pit possibly used for charcoal production and radiocarbon dated to the Late Bronze Age or Early Iron Age, and two sub-rectangular timber structures interpreted as isolated agricultural or ancillary buildings and a linear north-south boundary feature radiocarbon dated to the Late Iron Age or Early Romano-British period, represent intermittent use of an isolated site in the later prehistoric period for various agricultural activities. Further archaeological fieldwork is intended to take place to the north west and this may inform the interpretation of this group of features.

4-15 Dixon's Square were built as houses in the Curtain during the early 18th century and developed into industrial buildings culminating with the Star Brewery in the mid-19th century. The brewery building comprised three main phases in stone, early brick and later brick when it became a drinks merchant's warehouse. In the 20th century, No.14 returned to residential use but was closed during slum clearances, while No. 15 was occupied for light industrial use until 2019. These buildings were recorded prior to demolition by AAG Archaeology in 2019.
