One theory put forward is the potential timber structure was once a barn belonging to monks.
Volunteers are set to take part in a 12-day archaeological dig in the hope of finding signs of medieval life on a farm.It will be led by archaeologist Mark Graham and follows his discovery of crop marks on the land, which suggest it was once the site of a large medieval building.
Due to written records, archaeologists have long known that part of the town was once the site of a medieval farm linked to Cistercian monks.Mr Graham said he noticed crop marks when he was looking at aerial images in 2022. The marks looked like a "footprint of a large timber building", he said, adding: "I nearly fell off my chair."
No such building is detailed in maps going back to the 1800s, he added, and the marks suggest the building is about 50m long and 20m wide.
