| Abstract: |
Seven trial trenches were excavated in advance of proposed residential redevelopment. The evaluation recovered a small assemblage of residual medieval pottery sherds from a layer of buried subsoil overlying the natural clay, but this did not appear to reflect settled occupation during that period. An extensive post-medieval soil horizon, containing 16th/17th century pottery was, however, identified, as well as several features dating ceramically from the period 1680-1750. The remains of a possible 17th century well were also preserved in-situ beneath a later alleyway, although its character and function was not determined. Two adjoining 18th century buildings, one of which was cellared, were sampled by a trench located adjacent to Waterloo Road. The remains of another 18th century building were identified behind the West Street frontage. Wall footings and brick floors belonging to two of the terraced houses in Clarkes Court represented domestic occupation of the site in the 19th century. There were also structural remains relating to industrial activity during the same period. Modern garden soils truncated by 19th century development were much in evidence, particularly in the southern half of the site. Standing walls forming the boundary of the proposed development area dated from the 17th to 19th centuries. [Au(abr)] |
