| Abstract: |
An archaeological desk-based assessment was undertaken in advance of a proposed development. The eastern half of the site lay within an area designated as an Area of High Archaeological Potential, close to the medieval town centre. The site was located within an area likely to have been encompassed by former medieval tenements. It also lay partially within the putative location of an Anglo-Saxon village. Iron age piles and Roman pottery kilns had been identified during previous archaeological works in the immediate vicinity of the site and since exact boundaries of these sites remained undefined there was potential for them to have extended into the site. Elements of some earlier structures depicted on the 1841 Tithe map and subsequent OD maps were likely to have been incorporated into the fabric of the extant buildings on the site. [Au(adp)] |
