Abstract: |
The watching brief revealed previously unknown parts of the College building, and important evidence for the changing functional and structural use of the area to the north-east and north-west of the stair tower from the 13th/14th century through to the modern day. The earliest deposits identified were of Roman, Anglo-Scandinavian and Anglo-Norman date. Within the ground beam, underpinning and drainage trenches a complex series of archaeological deposits was recorded. These related to the complex structural development of both the 13th/14th century pre-cursor to St. William's College and the 15th-century College itself, including evidence for several phases of late medieval and post-medieval outbuildings and paths within the garden. The construction of the stair tower between 1650 and 1670 and the later use of the garden area particularly to the north-east of a possible industrial craft workshop in the early to mid 18th century were also located.
