Abstract: |
J. M. Trippier Archaeological and Surveying Consultancy carried out an archaeological watching brief at 12-26 Avenham Street, Preston (NGR SD 5410029277) in September 2008 on behalf of Reality Concepts Ltd. who redevelop the site which is located in an area which formed both part of the pre-burghal settlement and the later medieval borough. The watching brief was aimed at identifying and recording any archaeological deposits connected with these and other earlier uses of the site. The remnants of some brick walls were noted but these only appear to have dated from the late 19th century. A large gritstone block was also located resting on the natural sand. This appeared to be in situ although its purpose could not be determined. |
