Abstract: |
Excavation revealed numerous features of Middle Saxon date across the site proposed for redevelopment. The majority of these were pits and were dated by finds within them. Many of the Middle Saxon features had been damaged to some extent by trenches dug in the 19th century for the extraction of brickearth. It appeared that several of the Saxon features had been deliberately avoided by the brickearth diggers once they had been identified by the excavation of their upper fills. Twentieth century air raid shelters and services were also seen. Much of the natural brickearth, and pre-19th century layers had been removed by the digging of the brickearth trenches. The only area without brickearth trenches was to the south of Johnson Street. [AIP] |
