Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken on works involving the repair, straightening and provision of support to a post-medieval wall. Probable medieval features revealed included two or more walls, a pit and possible surface. Wall 109 was a definite main wall of a building, constructed from chalk blocks. It had been suggested that wall 109 (previously observed in this area) represented the western wall of the Great Hall of the 12th and 13th century royal palace, the east wall having been previously identified on the other side of 1 Castle Hill. Wall 106 looked very like the sort of foundation used to support a pentice wall where great strength was not required. [Au(adp)] |
