Abstract: |
The watching brief revealed a series of stone steps keyed into the remaining town wall. It was found that the town wall behind 26-30 Back Hill, Silver Street, was not the original medieval town wall, but a reconstruction built in the 18th/19th century. Only post-medieval finds were found throughout the clearance, apart from a piece of flint, Bronze Age in date, found in a post-medieval layer. The only probable evidence of the original town wall was the discovery of possible rampart material behind the existing town wall, however, there was no dating evidence to confirm this. [Au] |
