| Abstract: |
<summary>A small excavation was carried out in connection with the Flood Defences scheme, as a new wall was required between "The George" and the Scheduled bridge. The trench located against the ragstone bridge wall showed that the wall had been built free-standing, and that deep deposits of dumped soils had been placed against it. Several of these were found to be well-compacted flint or gravel layers, creating metalled surfaces. Most of the soils contained 19th century domestic rubbish, but one 3rd century Roman coin was also found. These 19th century dumps and metalled surfaces possibly infill a ramp or slipway (seen on early prints) providing vehicular access from the High Street to the river bank at a lower level. {italon}AIP{italoff} |
