Abstract: |
A trench was archaeologically excavated to evaluate the site prior to a proposed residential development. The excavation revealed ten phases of activity dating from the Roman period to the present day. Phases I and II dated to the Roman period and consisted of a ditch and its subsequent backfilling. Phase III represented a period of little activity on the site. Phases IV to VIII represented medieval activity on the site, the most notable feature was a waterlogged pit dating to the 13th century. Phases IX and X represented post-medieval and modern activity on the site. One of the main objectives of the evaluation was to recover evidence of Thomas Agar's Almshouses which were known to have occupied the site from 1632. No trace of them was found. [Au] |
