Abstract: |
The watching brief revealed an interesting archaeological sequence. The earliest deposits reached (phase 1) were likely to have related to dumping or collapse/accumulation in the late or immediate post-Roman period. A metalled surface of Phase 2 may also have been of late or post-Roman date as its alignment was contrary to that of the medieval (and assumed Anglo-Scandinavian) street pattern. Phase 3 deposits were composed of partially preserved Anglo-Scandinavian wattle fences aligned parallel and at 90 degrees to King Street. These were sealed by a series of dumped, slightly organic deposits of Phase 4. Further indications of fence-lines (phase 5) again parallel and at 90 degrees to King Street (medieval Cargate) were observed cutting the phase 4 deposits. The latest archaeological deposits preserved at the site were of further dumped domestic refuse of Anglo-Scandinavian date. [Au] |
