Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
TG 526085. In a three-day excavation carried out in Regent Road and Deneside in advance of building, a section of the town wall (built according to the historical evidence c 1284) was cut against one of the piers. Knowledge of previous marine transgressions and regressions had suggested that the wall was erected when the land still stood 12-13 ft higher than it does today, or did in Roman times, and this was proved by the fact that the layer of clay silt cut by the foundation trench of the wall contained water-worn Roman material. The excavation also proved that, contrary to previous opinion, there was a medieval moat, which must have been recut during the Civil War and subsequently refilled. Also obtained was information about the construction of the wall. The moat had been dug first, based with flagstones and revetted with flint, and the wall then built into the moat side.
