Abstract: |
South West Archaeology undertook an evaluation of the site at 18 Potacre Street. Five evaluation trenches were excavated at targeted locations after initial desk-based research. Results indicated that the site would appear to have originated as a pair of burgage plots, probably of medieval date. However the lack of early features and finds is suggestive of low-intensity use of the area - possibly as gardens or yards. By the early-19th century these plots had been amalgamated and a group of small stone and brick buildings were erected which may have had a light-industrial purpose. These buildings were demolished between the later-19th and early-21st centuries, the site being used as a garden with some cobbled surfaces and pathways being laid down. The only clearly datable features in the evaluation were modern and matched buildings seen in 19th-century mapping. |
