Abstract: |
The results of archaeological monitoring of groundworks associated with the installation of play equipment on the Argyle Street Play Area - the former site of St Peter Southgate church. Large numbers of articulated and disarticulated human remains were encountered by all trenches excavated inside the area of the sandpit at the northern end of the site. Several burials had suffered modern disturbance from levelling activity associated with the creation of the sand-pit in the 1990s and the installation of concrete foundations for the old play equipment. Finds include a decorative white-metal coffin handle plate from a Victorian child's coffin, a late medieval 'Ship-Penny' Jeton, a small quantity of medieval and post-medieval pottery and a single abraded sherd of Late Saxon pottery. |
