Abstract: |
Border Archaeology carried out archaeological observation of seven test pits and foundation trenching at Tuckers Place, situated within the medieval core of Newport. The site occupies part of a rear area of former medieval tenement plots but was heavily developed with the construction of small-scale factory buildings in the early 20th century. Due to the site’s history of intensive industrial use, it is probable that any earlier archaeological features or deposits would have been heavily impacted. The groundworks revealed a large amount of demolition material together with modern domestic waste and scrap metal indicative of significant disturbance. No evidence of activity predating the 20th century was identified. The archaeological observation thus confirms that no archaeology was damaged or disturbed by the groundworks. |
